異い種しゅ族ぞく混こん交こう

noun

interracial marriage; miscegenation

A formal or literary term for marriage or sexual relations between people of different races. Often used in historical or sociological contexts. The English gloss 'miscegenation' is dated and potentially offensive; the Japanese term itself is neutral but may carry historical connotations.
