Is my son bi-racial? or something else?

Question

SOOoo I am half black half white. My babys father is full black. So he is 3/4 black 1/4 white. My father says that he is "black" but isn't he bi-racial just like I am because he is "of two races"? I don't really care that much, lol I just wanted to know what other people think(:

Answer

He is bi-racial to you because you know what's he's made of but society will view your son as a black man.

Answer

Bi-racial. My son is bi-racial as well but not with African American. In his dad's side he is Salvadorean and Native American. I'm all "white" (French, Irish, Italian). He looks completely Hispanic so often he gets spoken to in Spanish even though he has refused to learn it just like his father (he understands it just can't speak it but my son doesn't even understand it). On paper, he is mostly white. But society will view him always as a Hispanic man. (Pics are when he was 5 and now at 9 holding my youngest son!)

Answer

I think the whole fraction/percentage thing when talking about race is ridiculous. He is black and he is white. So yes consider him biracial if you like.

Answer

I vote for bi-racial, too. Otherwise you'd be disregarding 1/4 of his ancestry.

Answer

I'm going through the same thing I hate going by percentages. I'm half Mexican/blk & my boyfriend is full black. I guess my baby is still mixed but just not as much as I am

This is my nephew he's now 1 
More black than Mexican

Answer

He's black.

Answer

Same for me. I'm half black and half white. My husband is black.  Our baby will be biracial.

Answer

Yep! Biracial just like you. :)

Answer

She not fully 100% black therefore she is mixed with something else whether or not she's bi or tri racial....
