What are people who are mixed race black/White called in the UK these days?

In america if you half Asian/white you have to tick Asian because it is the darker gene

Mixed race

black

I think it depends on how white passing u r and which side u choose to identify with. I believe the rule is: looks black = black, looks black but is mixed = black, looks mixed =black, looks white =white, looks white but is mixed =white (but can inform people of blackness for razzle dazzle)

I’m pretty sure there’s always a section for mixed race people on forms and they can choose or expand on their details I guess

This is best answer in my opinion.

@menina thanks, thought simple source of reasons would be best bet.

[menina]

You're welcome. And it was, for me it was also interesting.

[ChrisMaster69]

@menina we have recently just had our 2021 census so was quiet fresh in mind lol.

[menina]

I see Lol
I knew about the UK census and we had them recently too.

@menina see in the UK people who are black/white are mixed/biracial nit Black

[menina]

So? What's your point? I saw the link that @chrismaster69 posted.

[Iron_Man]

In America we have TV shows called blackish and mixish

[SouthAmerican]

If a person is half Asian half white what race is the person in America?

[Iron_Man]

They would call that Asian like Barack Obama’s half Hawaiian half black and they call him black. But as for me I have to look at the person and see what they look more like that’s what I go by

Why do you care? It's probably black since in most countries mixed race people (black and white) are considered black.
