mixed heritage
Multiple ethnic backgrounds
Mixed heritage describes ancestry from two or more distinct ethnic, racial, or cultural backgrounds.
The term emphasizes the cultural inheritance aspect of identity rather than biology alone: She celebrates her mixed heritage through food and music from both sides of her family.
It's often preferred over "mixed race" in contexts focusing on cultural identity rather than physical characteristics.
