    well if it is a white mexican with a white american no its not interracial just intercultural lol.

    if the mexican is mestizo, Castizo, or indigenous than it would be interracial.

    Technically speaking yes! But Mexican's come in all colors as apparently only us Mexicans or Mexican-American know lol If a Mexican with Blue or Green eyes, fair skin, and light hair date a "white person" then I'm not sure...Hmm Good question. Most Latinos/Hispanics are “the race” right? So if we see from that stand point then even a white Mexican dating a “white American” would have to be considered Interracial dating.

    Well, no, Mexican isn't considered a race but most consider hispanic/latino to be. So if you roll with that train of thinking, then it is because it would be a latino/white relationship which is interracial (:

    To Jeny, your answer is the most ridiculous I've ever heard! I did not know there was a brown category, so if someone is not white as bread they are brown, or black? you mean they are not considered white or better said caucasian?? what is brown by the way? I think you are confusing sking color with descendency, not all american are white, we are all from different descendants and cultures, there are no full blooded people anymore, unless of course you are like 300 years old.

    but why is it important anyway? If you are worried about skin color just date whoever white, brown or black,or yellow or pink as long as is the kind skin you like and the family as well, what do you care?

    No, it actually isn't. Unless the Mexican girl was another race, it isn't interracial. Mexican and Jewish are commonly mistaken as races. Neither of them even fall under the same category.

    It depends. Are you a White Latino?

    For example, i am Argentine of Spaniard and Portuguese descent. Therefore, i am classed as Latina ethnically, but White racially. If i were to date a White American guy it would not be an interracial relationship (at least in my eyes) because we are both of European descent and are 'White.'
