Everyone took each others sisters to prom

I've always wondered if there were specific terms for those kinda kids

People

Lmao...that is a good description. I don't consider my baby girl anything other than that.

Oh, I meant no harm at all in my question

Ive heard blasian for half black and half asian kids. I think half white and half black kids are pretty much just considered black

race is taken from the father...which is a weird situation for me because my father is Hispanic but I have a white persons last name...which isn't even mine its my sisters because my mother decided to keep her married name after she divorced. So technically if I follow my fathers race I should be Hispanic and so should my daughter although she is half Hispanic half black.

How does race come from the father? Last names, culture and genetics are not the same thing. Usually people either self identify or people assume their race by outward appearance.

In regard to our state when it asks for race you put what race your father is and not all people can self-identify with outward appearance because what if someone is albino or a black man has extremely light skin that makes him look white or Hispanic.

It depends on why you are being asked, but I have never heard of the "go with your father's ethnicity" thing.. not saying it's not a thing, but you can self identify with anything in your genetic mix.

I go by what I have been taught or heard. May have been because I was mixed ethnicity I got more scholarships or benefits for my parents I'm not sure. You can self identify with whatever makes you feel best. My wife is also a teacher and in the alcohol system they base the child's race off the father...so it could be that as well.
