fullblood

No mixed heritage

Fullblood describes a person or animal of unmixed ancestry—having both parents from the same racial, ethnic, or breed lineage.

The term appears most often in discussions of livestock breeding and, more controversially, in racial classifications of Indigenous peoples: a fullblood Angus bull, fullblood Aboriginal Australians.

As a noun, a fullblood is such an individual.
