Individuals are sometimes distinguished by their color 1, which is used loosely to refer to the apparent pigmentation of the skin. In some countries a distinction is drawn between white persons 2 and colored persons 3 sometimes called non-whites 3. Mating between persons of different colors is sometimes referred to as miscegenation 4. A person who is the issue of such a union is said to be of mixed blood 5 or mixed parentage 5.
- 4. Crossing is sometimes used in that sense. It also refers to the change in racial self-identification of an individual between one date and another.
- 5. The issue of a white and a negro is called mulatto. In Spanish America the issue of a person of European extraction and an American Indian is called a mestizo. The issue of a person of European extraction and an Asian is sometimes referred to as an eurasian.
