Meaning of mixed origins | Babel Free

Adjective CEFR B2

Definitions

Having mixed racial, ethnic, or national parentage or ancestry. This term was promoted as an alternative to “mixed race” in a 1994 resolution of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, in part because of its correlation to mid-twentieth-century British laws using the phraserace or ethnic or national origins”, but did not see wide use outside of the UK anthropology field.
