Eurasians

Two-continent heritage people

Eurasians are people of mixed European and Asian ancestry, or more broadly, people from the Eurasian landmass.

The term appears most often in discussions of colonial history, particularly in British India and Southeast Asia, where it described people born to European fathers and Asian mothers: The Eurasian community in Singapore maintained distinct cultural traditions.

As an adjective, Eurasian describes things spanning or combining both continents: the Eurasian steppe, Eurasian geopolitics.
