Has anyone mixed their race out completely ?

Featured Replies

What I mean is when for example a black person mixes with a white person and the baby comes out light skinned. Then that baby grows up (preferably female) and then mixes with a white or an east Indian or an Asian man.

 

I'm asking this because I want to write a paper in a college English class on this subject.

 

Also where can I communicate with people that have done this ? So I can see an example of it.

"Race" is a term that is falling out of use. It's better to use the term "population". Race is actually a social construct. For example, there was a time before a wave of eastern european immigrants and italians were not considered "white". After they moved into the suburbs and miscegenated (breeding between "races") italians, in the United States, became "white". Race is something that is constantly being formed, I suggest reading "Racial Transformation in the United States" if you are a college level student. It talks about different paradigms (what ideas are used to explore a subject) of race, we have moved from a biolgical paradigm into a more ethnic paradigm. Race is not something defined across borders, Obama isn't "black" in Brazil.

My son is 6% Chinese, 13% Indonesian, 25% English, 25% Scottish, 31% Malay.

However he is a staunch Scottish Nationalist and considers himself to be Scottish. As lukasbecker noted in the previou post, race is a social construct. We are desceneded from Julius Ceasar.
