I think it's how the child self-identifies. But generally today we would say mixed-race.

| Hi Op. I'm interested in this as well. Mine is a bit different though, DH is white. I am half white, half Asian. DS is very fair with blonde hair and blue eyes but has distinct Asian features as well. As he's too young to understand race, I wonder what others make of him. Just out of curiosity. |

It depends. If he/she looks like a Caucasian/white person, he/she is white. If he/she looks like Asian, nah. Case in point, President Obama, half white half black, is black Tiger Woods, half Asian half black, is black |

| When given the choice, we pick "multiracial" or select both Asian & Caucasian. |

| A half asian/white guy asked me what race I thought he looked like and I said asian before knowing he was mixed. He was disappointed I guessed Asian. |

We are white European and Asian and in Europe it’s called Eurasian. Here too, if your origins are European... |
