The other answers given were all wonderful and very appropriate. The only thing that I would add, is that if you are a child of love and I am certain that you are, I would consider you Perfect!

Neither. The kid is simply white. Don't forget that white American came from Europe. A silly ignorance that Americans have for some dumb reason. As for the culture the US is filled with multi cultured customs so to say "bi-cultured" is silly as well. Case in point: Typical American foods include pizza, hamburgers and hotdogs. They are Italian and German in origin respectively. The amount of time it has been a common custom here makes it as American as anything else.

You are what nationality you are more distinctive of.
Ex: We have the same ancestry our family, but Im more distinctive of being African American, because my parents are more distinctive.

If you still don't get then look in a mirror

The fact that you asked this question indicates you have pondered it & consider it important to some degree. Technically you are multiracial, but have the ability to define yourself as any race you wish. As the father of some mixed race children (adopted) I have let them define themselves as they wish & have had this discussion with some. I suspect you will find aspects of all 3 of your multiracial ancestry that you like & dislike... so pick what you like & go with it.

It depend what you "look like" the most.Many black American are bi-racial but,according to American criteria, they look more black.

In country like Egypt, Brazil,although they are mixed with black, they consider them self "masri" or "Brazileiro" first.Egyptians don't consider them self mulatto even if the ******* type is visible.If you go to France you will be sonsider mulatto, in Spain you will be morena.

Depending what country you live, you can pass for many race.For example, in the south

Well, we used to call that American melting pot.

So, it used to make you an American.

I wish it still did. Nowadays, we are so busy deciding what each other are ethnically, that we have forgotten that we are all the same in Gods eyes. The only thing that could be different in Gods eyes are our hearts. And while all hearts are red and pump blood, God sees the differences that we cannot.

No, you are human, one out of almost 6 billion human beings, who is made up of percentages of DNA from every single kind of flower, horse, computer, metal, fish, orange, tree, chemical, cloud matter, microorganism, etc. in percentages, just like the flower, horse, computer, metal, fish, orange, tree, chemical, cloud matter, microorganisms, etc. are made up of percentages of the DNA of human beings. If you want to get more scientific and logical, you are a bunch of atoms, filled with protons and neutrons, just like everything else that you are looking at and that you have ever looked at humanly possible. Below your atoms are corks. Inside your corks, which are inside your atoms, just like everything else on the earth, are vibrations. Inside your vibrations is nothing, not a single thing, just nothingness. Oh, and by the way, the human voice is the lowest vibration on the earth. Cool stuff, huh?

You are not a race. You are chemicals and atoms, just like everything else on the earth, that are bumping, attaching, and colliding with other atoms on the earth (e.g. anything on the earth, with a DNA composition) all day long.

Imagine the world as a bunch of little marbles bumping into each other, attaching with each other, colliding with each other, and moving away from each other at fantastical speeds and inpreciseness, and you will understand just what everything is that you are and that everybody else is. Imagine that your mood, your looks, your feelings, your tastes for food some days (or even some minutes) and not for others are countless numbers of marbles in a huge sphere filled with countless numbers of marbles that are circulating each other, passing each other, combining with each other, moving with each other, clashing with each other, moving very far away from each other with other combinations of marbles, and bashing into each other at great speeds that affect anything with an atom (everything with DNA), and you'll understand just who you are and that everybody is everybody, just in different percentages and not different whatsoever, well, in percentages senses. When your breathing White people's air, Native-American people's air, or African people's air, I'm breathing it, too. Oh yeah, and if you're White, Native-American, and African, so am I, just in different percentages than you. We can't help it, we're nature. We interact with each other all day long, whether we like it or not (though vibrations in the earth, which are stuck inside the corks in the protons and neutrons). Incredible, huh?

No. Biracial is being 2 races. You would be multi-racial.

well technically you are multiracial (bi-racial referring to being mixed with just two races). However, it's whatever you identify with.

Well I would just call you mixed black but you would be considered multiracial since you are mixed with more than two races. I say that for people who have black in them but they are not full black and they are mixed with other things.
