Would you consider someone who's half European and half Middle-Eastern to be biracial?

Question

I'm European (Irish-Italian) on my dads' side and Middle-Eastern (Lebanese-Palestinian) on my moms so would I be considered "biracial"?

Gojira · Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Without more details I'd say no since both of your parents are Caucasian. Your mom is white skinned Caucasian and your dad possibly a bit darker skinned mid eastern Caucasian. You're multicultural or multiethnic maybe. But I dont think biracial.

Or what are the two "races"? Not the two nationalities, ethnicities or cultures, but the two "races"?

You're just you!  The only situation where it's important is where laws are concerned.

You probably look white. Gigi Hadid is half Arab (palestinian) and half white and she looks super white xD.
Most of the people who have the same mixture as you are white. My half white cousins are all blonde with blue eyes.
Not to forget that middle easterns are Caucasians..

Yeah I guess. I know a guy who is half Arab and half Romanian. But he doesn't look Romanian. Maybe 1 or 2 features.

Middle Eastern people are Caucasian. So they're technically the same race, just different ethnically.

RedThread · Answer

Nah.. Aren't people from the middle east technically white?

MissNowhere · Answer

Yes, I think so. I mean those are two races that are mixed into one, right?

SaltandVinegar · Answer

Multi-ethnic I guess? Europeans and Middle Easterners are both Caucasian.

zagor · Answer

I would say no, but unless the Nazi's rise again, who really cares about such labels?

bubbletrouble · Answer

They are both Caucasian but I think the average person would call them mixed

Anonymous · Answer

Almost everyone is somewhat biracial, no one is "pure" so to speak...
