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.
