are mixed race people white or ethnic?

Answer 1

they are human

Answer 2

Mixed race means your mixed on a application form they'll ask your ethnicity and I put Mixed heritage because I'm mixed...but does it matter? We're not white because when you say white you mean whole or 3/4/mostly white really.

Ethnic
1.
1. Of or relating to a sizable group of people sharing a common and distinctive racial, national, religious, linguistic, or cultural heritage.
2. Being a member of a particular ethnic group, especially belonging to a national group by heritage or culture but residing outside its national boundaries: ethnic Hungarians living in northern Serbia.
3. Of, relating to, or distinctive of members of such a group: ethnic restaurants; ethnic art.
2. Relating to a people not Christian or Jewish; heathen.


Ethnic mainly means cultural. Mixed race is mixed race!! Not ethnic...ethnic would mean anything but white or black wouldn't it? You have to break it down more, to mixed race, I guess that stems off of "ethnic" so you could say thats the answer to your question. But to class anyone as ethnic is quite rude because its kind of saying all the "others" are "ethnics" (because we couldn't be bothered to name them! It's like calling people foreginers - everyone is foregin because we live in a white country! All it means is, "we got here before them"!

Mixed race people are mixed race. To me anyway! But I don't think it really matters! Colour is nothing....wouldn't it be great to be colour blind when it comes to skin?

Answer 3

They are the begining of the new race in about 200 years there will be no blacks no whites no anything accept the mixed race

Answer 4

Neither, hence 'mixed race'.
Whites are white, ethnics are ethnic, mixed race is mixed race.

Answer 5

if your 1/16 black your considered black my great grandpa was black he married a white women they had a mixed kid which was my grandad he married a white woman that made my mom 1/4 black and 3/4 white my mom married a white man that is 4/4 white so even though i have green eyes and blonde hair im considered black by the u.s census thats why many whites are black and dont know and many blacks try to pass as white during slavery days

Answer 6

Sorry love, but you're ethnic too. We all are. Whether one is white or black would depend on the racial mixture.

Answer 7

neither.

One is not more dominant than the other. I cannot understand why it flippin matters but if it helps you to understand the human race by assigning colours then make your own mind up.

Answer 8

Answer 9

They are people. If they want a complicated life they can try to fit themselves into one of the boxes than simple minds as people to mark themselves as.

Answer 10

legally (as in, for the purpose of application forms, etc.) if your heritage is 1/16 or more ethnic, you can list yourself as that ethinicity.

Answer 11

ethnic
