the laptop term is African American while Black is starting to be Politically incorrect, even with the reality that I evade utilising the two one. some companies have steered their front-line workers to apply the laptop replace satisfied holiday journeys over Merry Christmas, as a fashion to no longer offend any Jewish, Moslem, or atheist purchasers. I evaluate this to be relatively stupid in u . s . a . of america. If all and various factors out which you have pronounced some thing Politically incorrect, merely clarify which you meant no offense. I merchandise to human beings leaping at any reason to take offense, and that i do no longer want to advantages that style of habit with the aid of catering to it.

There isn't one. "Mixed", if you have to describe her heritage in one word.

Most of the mixed-race terms are for people of just two mixes. "Mulatto" isn't used much anymore; it means half black and half white, or used to. "Quadroon" used to mean 1/4th Black, 3/4ths wihite and "Octroon" used to mean 1/8th and 7/8ths. You run across those in historical novels. "High Yellow" was someone with a small but noticable amount of Black. The lady the fellow loves in the song "The Yellow Rose of Texas" was supposed to be a "high yellow gal".

"Eurasian" is someone of mixed Asian and European heritage.

You can make infinite combinations with two words;
Afro-Cuban, Spanish-Norwegian, Chinese-Finn, Anglo-Indian, etc.

Ya got me there. If American call the person American, same goes for whatever citizenship or nationality I suppose. That's a general factor of genealogy, everyone has history and ancestors.

I would just call them "sweetheart" if I don't know their name, doesn't matter about being politically correct, I don't see colour or hear a different language I see a person first and foremost, so it's sweetheart for me.

I think it would just be easier to ask the person their name and use it. Forget being politically correct, in my opinion it just points out differences. It also depends on what context you are looking to use this information.

Define them as a friend. But if they are from another country, then define them as their nationality which is the country they are a citizen of, not their ethnic or racial background.
