interracial
referring to the presence of different races in a certain defined area or group ("interracial neighborhood," "interracial gathering"), this term has lost its validity as the concept of "race" has lost its. When it has been used it has often meant "blacks and whites," ignoring Asian Americans and other groups, or it has been code to signal the presence of African Americans. Replace the word with a precise, factual description of the makeup of the group you're describing. See also multiracial.
