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.

sorta. it would actually be considered half black and half white.
You named it... Bi-Racial. Although many "forms" that a child or parent may be faced with do not include this "option" when the race of a child is required. One may choose to check " other" in the form, or simply write it in

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.
A black mother will have a child who at the very least will be 50% black.
you never can really tell, It all depends on what genes are taken from each parent. My friend is half black, half white and she is black but has little white spots on her./....so you never really know
A mulatto is the child of one black parent and one white parent. It doesn't matter which parent is black or white. As long as one parent is black and one parent is white, then you are a mulatto.
They could be considered Mixed, white or black.
Depends on what the other parent is. If the mulatto parent was half black and half white, the child would be 25% black, 25% white, and 50% whatever the other parent is.
Well you would be considered quarter black instead of half if that is the case.
Children of one black looking parent and white looking parent are considered mulattos, whether it's a black guy from Senegal and a white lady from Germany or a black woman from New York City and a Native American from Ecuador.

A mulatto is a first generation child of one white parent and one black parent. They don't really have an actual "culture" of their own. What they take on as their culture depends on by whom and where they were raised.

A mulatto is of African decent, but they aren't 100% African American. A mulatto is the child of one black parent and one white parent.

No, this is not possible. A biracial baby (one whose parents were from two different races) inherits the genes of both; so while the baby might be lighter skinned than a baby whose parents were both black, a child born from a black parent and a white parent will neither be fully black nor fully white-- that is why the term "biracial" has come into common use, since it reflects the influence of both parents' races.
it depends because when i was born i was really white but my mom was tan
