Biracial titles

I've been trying google for this and the only titles I can seem to find are ...

Mulatto - Black and White ancestry

Occidental - Asian and White ancestry

and Mestizo - Native Indian and White ancestry


Know of anymore?

I'm a Scandanippian! :)

(Half Japanese, half Scandanavian.)

Seriously, why does it matter? We don't need a title. "Mutt" is fine enough for me.

Because anything else is being racist and discriminatory.. even though by making these titles you're only drawing an even thicker line in the sand so to speak..

*note for those not incredibly bright.. the first half of my remark.. was sarcastic..

I read a book once that had a name for black-indian mixes when it was describing the social rank of crewmembers on some sort of ship.

There is a title for South American / Europeans I believe... I remember studying something about that in Global History class. However, I'm curious as to why you're looking this stuff up. :p To me it's the equivelant of looking up the average black spots a dalmatian has.

Some of those terms you listed are brazilian terms. The brazilians have a pretty extensive racial classification list, no matter what kind of mix you are, the brazilians probably have a name for it. Here are a few...

Mestizo= indian + spanish

Mulatto= Spanish + african

Pardo= Indian + african

Criollo= New world spaniard (name used during colonization)

Castizo= Criollo + Mestizo

Morisco= Mulatto + Spaniard

Chino= Morisco + Spaniard

All of this naming and classification is just another way to separate us all anyways. I'm proud enough to be a human. Homo Sapiens.

"Occidental" means simply "Western." European, white, honky, you know.

You might look at words like
quadroon
octoroon
quintroon
griffe

How the heck do you find this stuff.

You guys are winners thanks :winner:


I gotta do I project on racism and I chose to see what biracial people might go through being stuck in the middle...so I was wondering what the names of the mixes might be.

Do a Google search for "cablinasian" too. Tiger Woods is always good for a quote if you're writing a report on this stuff. :)

And now, a joke: What do you call 350 white guys chasing after one black guy? . . . The PGA tour.

EDIT: Some more links to look at.

Mischling is a term used by Hilter's goons to classify anyone with mixed Jewish/non-Jewish ancestry. It went by how many Jewish grandparents you had.
