my daughter is quarter black (Mum is mixed race) and half white (my goodself).
I would say my Daughter is mixed race I guess.
People always say "oh, where's her Mum from?"
Me: "errrrrrrr, Shepherds Bush, London".

it's a proud day for ftr commune when i opened this thread and there hasn't been a single use of the n-word.
on a more serious note: YouTube - Seinfeld. Is he black?
I've gathered that a couple of acceptable terms according to seinfeld are Irish and coffee with a little bit of cream, but saying mixed makes people uncomfortable.
on an actually serious note, all of these seem fine, and i don't think any of them have been deemed as non-pc. there are probably people who are offended by some and prefer others while others feel just the opposite, just like with black/african american

lol who the poop still uses mulatto? Pretty sure that's not very PC anymore, though I don't live in the states. Saw a Curb Your Enthusiasm ep, when larry picks a 'mulatto' doll for someone, so I guessed he was being non PC.
I'd say mixed race.

Mixed race is still a bit taboo. I prefer their first name or surname, when appropriate.
And kiwimark, I don't know what you're doing, but I know this chick who would get pretty territorial if she heard you say that.

Yeah, but the twist is that that chick is my mom. She's very protective.

half-black seems to be the first thing that comes to mind for me. Is that offensive?
The country is predominately composed of white people, so the natural nomenclature to describe someone who is half white is to call them half-black, half-korean, whatever.

In the past month Ive had 3 people ask me what my ethnicity is, then when I responded, "Im black and white" They said, "Oh, you're a mulatto?"
Now if that was the preferred nomenclature, I'm pretty sure I would have used it myself. So either they are really dense and unable to infer so much from my answer; or even worse they think that its the proper term, and that I did not know, so they are trying to educate my unfortunate "mulatto" self.
So no, mulatto is not pc, and is most certainly an outdated term.
case in point, quote from wiki entry on mulatto:
Quote:
|
Although still in use, in the last half century the term mulatto has fallen out of favor among some people and may be considered offensive by some in the United States. Today the preferred terms are generally biracial, multiracial, mixed-race and multiethnic. Note, for example, that President Barack Obama is never referred to as mulatto, although he had a white American mother and a black Kenyan father.
|
a little anecdote, about 4 or 5 years ago now, when I was a super fish I ran deep in a 10+1 on stars and was in IRC. Rippy offered to coach me to first, and I accepted.. back then he was pretty well respected on these forums. Anyways, we ended up doing the coaching over the phone, and in the small talk this same conversation happened where he concluded, "oh, so youre mulatto."
Anyways, back to the jokes. There were a few that I didnt see posted that I had expected, but most of all I was surprised to not see "house nigger", esp seeing as spoon has posted in this thread. Also "high-yellow" makes me laugh.

ex-missus so no pics sadly, though I did have some boobage pics somewhere of her.....
Boost - I've never even heard the term Mulatto before. Must be an American thing. What is it meant to mean?
I describe my daughter as mixed race as that is what she is. I'd only be offended if someone called her the n word or was obviosuly racist. Living in London, its such a mixed city it just isn't an issue - everyother child is mixed in someway.
When we go abroad to say France or Spain we get some funny looks as all my family are white, then we have a 9 yo (who goes alot darker in the sun) mixed race girl with us - with a London accent which really freaks them out.

I don't really agree with biracial or multiracial as being the best choice. It sounds like purposely vague and euphemistic language to me.

ya, I def see your point, but I also am not sure this is a bad thing. Tbh I typically initially throw out a smart ass answer when they ask "what are you?".. something along the lines of "a college student, how about you?" But when I do answer I tend to answer in a sentence, not one word, for example, "Im black and white" or "my mom is white and my dads black."
But back to it not being such a bad thing.. I think it serves to mock the notion of race being important. On that same basis, I think calling obama "black" is horrible as it is essentially legitimizing the one drop rule.

But race IS kind of important. At the very least it's an aspect of your appearance and being that defines who you are apart from others.

After having been mentioned, I'll determine that 'multiethnic' has the lowest probability of offending anyone
Boost, you're doing it wrong. Don't tell them you're half black or whatever. Tell them you're fucking Chinese or Spanish or Eskimo or some shit. You could probably fool some people with Black Russian. Maybe go with Roman; sounds legit, and nobody really even knows if it's still a thing anymore
