Miscegenation refers to the interbreeding of people considered to be of different racial or ethnic groups. The term often carries historical and social implications, particularly in contexts where such relationships were stigmatized or legally restricted. It has been associated with debates about race, identity, and social norms, especially in the context of laws and attitudes toward interracial marriage. Over time, the concept has evolved, and contemporary discussions often focus on the blending of cultures and the challenges of racial categories.
