Best Answer

The child is biracial or multiracial. It would be silly to suggest that the product of two races mixing would be one of those two races and not the other. Forget anything you've heard about "race passing from the mother." That is obviously not accurate. There are many famous people who have a black father and a white mother. Barack Obama, Tim Duncan, the rapper Drake, Alicia Keys, Halle Berry and many others. Commonly, these people are referred to as black, but that is only one half of their ancestry.

Realistically, they are neither black nor white; they are both. In practice, unless they have especially light skin or ambiguous features, they will probably be considered black by society. Mariah Carey has a black father and a white mother, but she is almost never considered black.

OpinionBlack, because black is dominant to white. In some cases though the baby will be a lighter color of black, like more of a brown. OpinionI am not sure I understand the question? Do you mean white or black as in color or genetically. Color wise depending on the color and genetics of the black parent the child could come out quite white. I am Black Native and white and have black features but am not very dark. Genetically the child is half white and half black, but socially they are black. If you are Chinese and white you're Chinese and white, but if your are black and another race socially you are always black. Informed Opinion and Oblique AnswerThese types of questions always end up in argument; everyone has an opinion. Unfortunately most opinions are wrong to some extent. Some more, some less than others.

Not responding to previous answers, but the child is neither Caucasian nor negro (this is a proper ethnic term, and we are speaking properly here). Historically, the Spanish developed a language for dealing with mixed racial types they encountered while conquering the New World. A child by this language would be Mulatto (rooted in Spanish, Portuguese, Latin and Arabic) and literally means mixed. Likewise, a child with one "all" white, or "all" black parent, and mulatto parent would be a quadroon (rooted in Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin), and literally means quarter, and so on.

This form of discriminatory thinking is referred to as colorism. It persists simply because people are not aware that they have better to do with their time than slap labels on people. When you get down to the root of the matter, what is the point? Does the child of a mixed couple not win some how? Are they somehow disadvantaged? The answer is a qualified yes. Yes, if they give in to the stereotyping of others. Yes, if their parents and family do to. Yes, if they do not realize their individual potential that has absolutely nothing to do with their racial make up, other than how they let it affect them personally.

Think about this for a moment: the great singer Lena Horn, was of African descent, yet she was light skinned enough to have been confused at times for a Caucasian. I do not believe I have ever encountered any reference she ever made, any discussion she ever allowed herself to be dragged into regarding her race. She was a beautiful woman, with a hypnotic voice.

Opinion #3. The answer to the question can be biological or social. Biologically, the child inherits 50% if its genes from each parent. So it is 50% white and 50% black. Skin color would be brown or light brown. Socially, are you black, white or somewhere inbetween? This may depend on the exact society where the question is put. What would be true in parts of the U.S. would not be cosidered true in some parts of Europe. Socially, the child is a native of the country where it is born and brought up. Thus, it will reflects the beliefs and values of that place.

Half white, or half black depending on how you look at it.

As for the color of the skin, it can vary greatly from looking almost entirely Caucasian, to almost entirely African American.

Because the black gene is dominant, the child would be considered black even if very light skinned.

Depending on the appearance, could be black, white, biracial, or "mixed race".

Most "black" people in the US are mixed race, but considered black by our culture.
