(alt-of, alternative, not-comparable) Alternative form of mixed-race.
The count of the ‘mixed race’ population and its profiling, its rapid growth rate over the last half dozen years or so, and the analysis of monitoring data (which accrued when census categorization was quickly adopted across government departments) have all given rise to a substantial research interest in this group. This has included how ‘mixed race’ is conceptualized, and the terminology used to describe the group.
