What does 'mixed race' mean to you? How would you describe a 'mixed race' person?

English/Irish isn't mixed race surely. Not if they are both Caucasian.

I would describe them as a person. Or a friend, or a colleague, or a neighbour - you get the idea.

It's a long time since I heard that phrase. I suppose generally it was about colour, or race but I don't think in those terms.

I wouldn't describe a mixed race person, in case it offended someone.

I am mixed race i.e English/Irish but generally mixed race is used to describe someone of colour.

My SIL is mixed race, he is brown and always happy to explain his heritage to people, however most people are too nervous of asking him for fear of coming across as racist!
