Race has always been a complicated and emotional issue in the United States. Racial classification has been used differently in the past on the US Census. However, it has also been used to set goals in education and employment and to monitor civil rights.
People view a child of one black and one white parent differently depending on their personal background. Some view that child as black. Some view that child as being of mixed race or bi-racial. There are no scientific classifications.

Which white genetics are stronger if a black woman and white man have a baby. to look more white. what color Hair eyes and skin tone should the man have?
No matter what each of you looks like the baby could turn out looking completely white or black, but it has a greater chance of looking more white if the black parent is fair and the white parent is blonde or redheaded. If the white parent has red hair(and red hair is recessive) the parents should be blonde or redheaded as well. This gives the child a greater chance of having light or red hair. The white parent should have blue or gray eyes. It helps if the black parent has any of these traits.
