Why when a biracial man is with a white woman they are considered an interrracial couple but with a black woman they are considered a black couple?
Because biracial (both black & white) men in America for the most part are treated for the most part as black men because majority of the time they look black so their are judged as black men. So when a Biracial (black/white) man is with a white woman, they are not seeing a biracial man with a white women, but a black man with a white women, so people label them as an interracial couple. On the other hand, when they are with a black woman, nobody sees the difference, since both are judged as black; they are considered a black couple, not an interracial couple.

Who was second black woman to win an acting Oscar?
The answer to your question depends on the Oscar categories you are interested in knowing about. For instance, if you are interested in knowing about the winners in the Best Actress in a Leading Role category, then there has only been one African American woman to win: Halle Berry in 2001 for her role in Monster's Ball. However, if you include other categories, such as Best Actress in a Supporting Role, the list expands. For instance, the first African American woman to win in this category was Hattie McDaniel in 1939 for her role in Gone with the Wind. The second African American woman to win in this category was Whoopi Goldberg in 1990 for her role in Ghost. So, if one includes this other category, it appears that Whoopi Goldberg is the second African American woman to win an Oscar.
