Would you consider a relationship between a white guy and a Chinese-born girl adopted by white people to be interracial? I don't really have much of an opinion either way and I don't really care what other people think either. Assume the two live in similar situations with parents having similar income, religious views, social status. Also, they are about equal in intelligence interests, and knowledge of Chinese language and culture.
Racially speaking: It is interracial but culturally speaking, since she has been raised by white parents and doesn't know much about her chinese background ( I presume) I think you guys are the same.
So yes it is interracial without the cultural clashes!
Inter-ethnic (if you HAVE to call it anything besides two people of different ETHNICITIES dating). Anthropologically speaking there's only one race. Human.

I believe this thread can be closed now.
That's my personal view, that race is an artificial construct designed to divide people, especially since humans are more similar to each other than Ivory Soap (99 and 44/100 pure), as my geography teacher would say.
I was just wondering whether it is the inside or the outside that determines interracial status.
I have always considered my parents an interracial couple. My father was Jewish and my mom was Japanese but born in the United States, as was her mother. I've always been proud of the fact the they were in interracial couple - especially in the late 60's, early 70's when it wasn't really acceptable.
Just because it might be considered interracial - it doesn't mean that it's a negative thing. I love being a mixed child (well, I'm an adult now - but you know what I mean)!
I'd call it two different people of two different ethnicities, but I'd also use that to describe my own relationship, wherein my Italian-American boyfriend dates my pale Irish a$$. We're both awfully white, but the cultural background pretty much diverges from there.
