Actually the correct term is Bi-racial , not inter-racial. Bi-racial is a specific term for black on white whereas Inter--racial is generally applied to other ethnicities. Dont believe me, check it out! You noticed that too huh? And the term is inter-racial lol Bi-racial is a child, the product of the inter-racial relations There was another one with a black woman and white man on there too, I forget which position.

oh satiyah! why must u make me do this! augghh!!! ... Here is an article on what a bi-racial couple is [you looked up the wrong term. Instead of the entire term "bi-racial couple" you only looked up "bi-racial"]. There are tons of examples of the usage of the term bi-racial couple. America's Racists

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two seemingly unrelated thoughts keep running through my brain, and I'm wondering if there is a connection that my subconscious is trying to make.
The first of these notions is that most of the racists in America are black, and that until we all recognize and acknowledge this fact, we're not going to get anywhere so far as resolving the race question. For, way too often when blacks insist they want to have a dialogue with whites, what they really mean is that they get a free pass to bitch and moan and demand reparations for things done to people they never knew by people none of us ever knew!
The second notion is that in any conflict between people, in order to know which side to root for, you only need to know which leader insists on donning a uniform every chance he gets.
Now, regarding the first issue, I'm aware that there are those -- mainly blacks and patronizing white liberals -- who insist that only those in the majority, those who have power, those, in short, who govern, can ever be labeled racists. That is totally absurd. By that standard, not the Aryan Brotherhood and not even the Ku Klux Klan -- neither of which can boast of power, numbers or influence -- could ever be condemned as racist.
What we do have in this country is a hypocritical double standard. On the one hand, movie director Spike Lee's career rolls merrily along in spite of his saying that he so hates bi-racial couples that he stares daggers at them if he encounters them on the street; and Jesse Jackson, who has raised corporate extortion to an art form, can not only get away with calling New York City "Hymietown," but with admitting that when he hears a group of young guys walking behind him at night, he's relieved to find they're white and not black.
I dare you to show me a single high-profile Caucasian who could survive such gaffes. You can't. But I can readily point to Sen. Trent Lott and the late baseball executive Al Campanis, who had their lives wrecked because of a couple of ill-chosen remarks. In Campanis's case, any number of black athletes came forward to defend him as a decent man and a loyal friend, but nothing could save him from falling victim to America's double standard.
People such as Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters, and Johnnie Cochran, who have made careers out of race-baiting, are esteemed in the black community. But I can't think of a single white racist who has enjoyed success and esteem among white Americans. Only blacks are permitted, even encouraged, to view all issues and, worse yet, all people in terms of black and white.
There are, I will readily admit, things that should be regarded that way. Good and evil, for instance, come to mind. Which brings us back to the matter of uniforms. When it comes to national leaders, one should always be wary of siding with the guy out of mufti. Whether his name is Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Castro, Idi Amin, Yasir Arafat, or Saddam Hussein, bloody tyrants enjoy nothing better than an excuse to slap on the medals and dress up like a toy soldier. In a democracy, even when ex-generals assume high office -- men such as George Washington, Ulysses S. Grant, and Dwight D. Eisenhower -- they put their uniforms in mothballs. The lone exception who comes to mind is Charles de Gaulle. But, then, he was French. So, what else would you expect?
Come to think of it, perhaps the message my subconscious was trying so hard to communicate was that, sadly, so far as black racists are concerned, skin color is the same as a uniform.

Just because some idiot used it in a sentence that way doesn't make it correct. I said the "common" usage of the words were as stated. www.ryerson.ca/rrj/online/hank2.htmlChecking the biracial box means that you have parents of two racial backgrounds (say white and black), while checking the multiracial box means that you have parents of more than two. www.lovablelosers.com/archives/000047.htmlInteracial Dating

Just for you Satiyah (it will explain how bi-racial couple is used for black on white relationship)...What's Wrong With Biracial Label?
By Major W. Cox In 1967, the United States Supreme Court declared state laws banning interracial marriage unconstitutional [Loving vs. Commonwealth of Virginia]. This decision opened the courthouse door for men and women of different races to marry, procreate and bring up their legitimate children anywhere in the United States. According to the 1992 U.S. Census, there are about 1,161,000 racially mixed families in the United States. Of these, about 246,000 are married couples in which one partner is African American and the other "white." The number of children born of these relationships must be hundreds of thousands.
One of these children, Bethany Godby, the teenage daughter of a Montgomery, Alabama couple, refuses to be classified by contemporary racial classifications. Bethany’s parents are considered a biracial couple … white father and black mother … in our race-conscious society and Bethany insists on claiming her whole heritage.
In a recent story in the Montgomery Advertiser, 13 year old Bethany said she was not allowed to run as a white candidate for homecoming queen at Cloverdale Junior High. The controversy stems from a school policy that allowed for the election of two homecoming courts, one black and one white. Bethany ran and won a white candidacy slot from her home room. According to the article, Cloverdale principal, Mr. Jethro Wilson, said that this first election was declared null for reasons not involving Bethany and her class did not nominate her in the second election.
The dual-race election policy was established by the school board during the time of transition from a racially segregated school system to an integrated one. The time for this transition has long past. Bethany and her parents took the correct action by challenging the dated and divisive school policy mandating separate black and white elections for homecoming court. The Montgomery County School Board acted properly by immediately eliminating the policy with a unanimous vote.
One can only ponder how many other children like Bethany, who don’t fit into our black/white political paradigm, suffer from loss of identity. How do these and "other" racially mixed children cope in our black or white racial social construction?
Writing in their book, Multiracial Couples: Black & White Voices, authors Paul C. Rosenblatt, Terri A. Karis and Richard D. Powell discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a child being biracial. The authors write, "The existence of biracial children are a challenge to racist thinking, in part because those who need to fit everyone into a clearly defined set of categories can be resentful when a child straddles the boundaries between categories." Racism can burden a biracial child, but there are also some advantages in our society for these children. One major advantage "… comes from [the child] knowing two worlds and having a dual perspective."
Fortunately help for resolving our racial identity dilemma for multiracial individuals may be on the way. The office of Management and Budget is revising its Statistical Policy Directive No. 15, Race and Ethnic Standards for Federal Statistics and Administrative Reporting. A report is due out in 1997.
The current standards define 5 categories: American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian or Pacific Islander, black, Hispanic and white. In recent years, these nearly 20-year old race classification standards have come under increased criticism. These five categories are not sufficiently descriptive to classify multiracial people. Children, like Bethany Godby, want their government to classify them in a way that does not exclude or deny their racial heritage from either parent.
On the surface, the easy solution is to get the government out of the business of classifying citizens by race. "But it’s not that easy," Wayne Sabel, an attorney representing Bethany says. "There remains a need for race-based remedies to eliminate the effects of past discrimination."
Children in Bethany’s racial category will and should continue to speak out against a government racial classification system that compels them to deny their heritage. These children want their government to assign to them a racial category that represents their individual reality. Children born of both black and white parents want to be classified in that manner. And for Bethany Godby, the teenage daughter of a white father and black mother, a Biracial category will be just fine.
