Your son is considered American, but don't let him forget his roots! That's the paradox of being American; it's beautiful because you can be American and be of any background, race, ethnicity or culture, and it doesn't matter if your ancestors were here 300 years ago or 30. But we do all tend to melt into a pop culture, and I love my country, but I believe that it is as great as it is because so many different cultures have brought things to the table. I am Sicilian, Navajo, Argentinean, and German. When it comes to checking the "race" box at the doctor's office or for a survey, I don't know what to check, unless they'd let me check "white/Hispanic/Native American" but you'll see that the "white" check box is "Caucasion/ Non-Hispanic" So basically, that wouldn't even work. I just check "other" because I can't check any one thing for it to be true. If you need to select a race on med forms, select "other" or nothing at all. Personally in this day in age, nobody has a right to divide and categorize, considering that so many of us are mixed. Y lo mas importante, siempre asegura que tu hijo guarda el orgullo!

Your son is obviously an American. But from an ethnic standpoint he'll be considered Latino. He would also have been considered Hispanic, except that Brazilian in there will separate him from the Hispanic community. But then again, from a Census standpoint your son is Caucasian.

⥠If he is born in the United States then he is an American. But he does have different backgrounds which are a little italian, german, and brazilian.

Your son is an American of European and Latin American descent. Sounds like a cool combination. I'll bet he's beautiful. Curious..what is his name?

Some people call a mixture like this a Heinz 57....
Technically, he's an American though.
