For The United States alone, Perhaps Frederick Douglas was the first popular openly biracial person.

Mulatto "Muladi", from Arabic meaning white mixed with Moor. in the United States a formerly disparaging and now merely insensitive and unnecessary term for a person of mixed race. Insensitive in the USA but not throughout the Americas. In Latin America it is not a disparaging term. The USA has major issues with acknowledging biracial identity. President Obama is regarded to as black in the USA- yet other countries respect his mother's white Kansan heritage and call him biracial not black. The irony is that it is his technically white, not Kenyan upbringing, not African American upbringing that has made him mainstream. He was raised by his mother's parents.

Does having to be respectful of two cultures while you are only half of each is fashionable? Depends on the person Biracial in media is rare so it can be considered exotic or fitting and I guess, fashionable. Barack Obama is Biracial and that seems to be agreeable in American nation politics. In Europe? Who knows? someone here might
Americans are conditioned by the media, American culture, and overall teaching of the One-drop rule that states that it is an automatic assignment for an individual who is mixed white with any other race that was considered of low class, to be classified as the other race. For example, in America, if an individual is mixed both black and white, the person is black because he/she has an ounce of what is not white. This is a racist rule that should have died along with slavery, but sadly it still thrives in America. In Europe a biracial person is considered biracial and not a specific race. The question many biracial people ask is why should a biracial person have to side with only one race if they're two? Others criticize that the biracial individual should not have to be labeled.

His mother is white and his father is black. That makes him biracial. Just because the racist media keeps calling him our 'first black president' does not mean they are correct. He is half white. The only people who have issues with this are racist black people who try to claim him as fully black. They know they are wrong.
Absolutely. The Person would actually be Biracial.
The commonly accepted definition of the word biracial is "containing members of two racial groups". This is mostly associated with a person who has parents from two racial groups.
No. "Biracial" refers to a person of more than one ethnicity. The child of the Caucasian man and Japanese woman would be biracial. The term you are looking for is "interracial," as this type of marriage is called an "interracial marriage."

people who are only 1/4 white but the rest of them is black are consitered black. It's that simple, they are not biracial or multiracial. Biracial people are people that are 50/50 in blood and multiracial people have more then 3 races in them. So if a biracial(black/white) has children with a white person it's either that kid is consitered white or biracial but if that biracial person has children with a black person, those children are black. Once you have 75% or more black blood in you you are black. For example Barack Obama daughters are in this category, those children are black girls with 25% white blood in them, and grow up as black women, which they are. So unless that biracial person marrys someone of another race, that's when the kids will be called multiracial. But also take into consideration that almost all blacks in the U.S. with slave ancestry have some white blood in them.
Biracial means having parents of two different races. Here are some sentences.He comes from a biracial family.His parents have a biracial marriage.Many people don't approve of biracial relationships.
