I'd like to ask the list for its thoughts on appropriate terms to
describe interracial relationships. The term "miscegenation"
seems steeped in the etymology and values of scientific racism,
but I can think of no others that succintly describe the
phenomenon of sexual unions across racial boundaries. Any help?
