Of my seven Confederate veteran ancestors, two were married to mixed-race women *before *the Civil War. Their children blended into white society and married whites. It was not unknown for whites to marry blacks and Mestee peoples before and after slavery.
Well, there is that Starburst commercial on TV that makes fun of the combination Scotch-Korean.
I figure it might actually offend real Scotch-Koreans, so if they did any real research they picked the group they would offend with the smallest number of people…
I have a friend who’s Japanese/Welsh (& gorgeous!)
And probably a weakness for men in uniform, I’d say.
Anyway, among my acquaintances are Swedish/Brazillian and Finnish/Indian. And I think some other interesting ones that I don’t remember the details of. There’s also a Turkish/Jamaican couple I know, but I don’t believe they plan on having kids.
I happened to go to a wedding two nights ago. The groom is half-Mexican, half American born Ashkenazi, while the bride is half Chinese and half some sort of Wasp. The thing that surprised me was that from looking at the bride’s mother, I assumed she was half Chinese, but no, she had immigrated to the US at the age of 3 but both parents were Chinese. Makes you wonder how much of the Oriental look is nature and how much is really from facial expression leaned where you grow up. The bride had a slightly oriental look, but I never would have taken her for half Chinese.
Isn’t the singer Shakira half Colombian, half Lebanese?
The most unusual combinations that I know of
Mongolian/Swedish
Srilankan/Vietnamese
As for me, Indian/Chinese (as a couple, not as a mix ). But I guess it is not so uncommon, probability wise.
The Afro-Asian mix seems to be fairly common. When I was in the Phillippines in the navy in the 80’s, there were girlie bars staffed exclusively by Black/Fillippinas, born during the Vietnam War. The clientele was also exclusively Black sailors and Marines.
It would probably go back much farther than the Vietnam War, though. During WWI, all the Black troops sent to France were volunteer units raised for the war, while all the old regular army “Buffalo Soldiers” were kept occupying the Phillipines. This was due to the belief that “negroes,” as a tropical “subspecies,” were better suited there. Stupid as well as racist, since Black people get malaria just the same as whites .
Regarding the Skittles commercial with the Scots/Korean gag: no more offensive than the usual Skittles ad. My step-daughter is Scots/Korean; more accurately, Korean & Polish-American on her maternal, Puerto Rican & Scots on her paternal. Her Puerto Rican grandfather survivied the Battan Death March and was rescued by US troops before the Japanese (& Korean) guards could massacre them at the end of the war. Her Korean grandmother would have starved as a child if the Japanese had done as they’d planned and confiscated all the rice in Korea in 1945 in anticipation of the US invasion. No regrets for the atomic bomb in our home, I suppose.
Well, baseball Hall of Famer Rod Carew is from Panama, and his own ethnicity is a combination of black, Indian (Mayan?) and Spanish. His wife was a Ukrainian Jew (some sources, including Adam Sandler’s “Chanukah Song” say Rod converted; others say he studied Judaism but never formally became Jewish).
That unusual combination had some bad repercussions later. I don’t remember exactly how things turned out, but I know that one of their kids needed a bone marrow transplant years ago, and people with similar genetics were EXTREMELY rare, making it very hard to find a likely match.
This is not unusual at all.
I believe there are a fair number of ethnic Chinese in India’s border region with that country. I saw an Indian film once that featured some, and it was odd seeing those Chinese looks speaking with Indian cadences.
One bloke I met was Welsh, Native American (can’t remember which tribe), Indian, Bulgarian and Ghanaian. I recken should marry someone who’s half-Maori and half East Asian so that their kids could have most of the world covered.
I don’t think any combination that includes the European former colonial nations, China or Jewish as an ethnicity can be considered unusual, considering how wide-ranging the diaspora and/or multiculturalism of those countries is. Scottish-Korean certainly isn’t that unusual.
In Malaysia I knew an Indian-Chinese couple (both of them Muslims). Their daughter could easily pass for Malay, given that combination.
Yes, in Malaysia you have all sorts of mixes. Singapore, too.
And Hawaii. At different times, large groups of Chinese, Filipinos, Koreans and even Portuguese were recruited to work in the fields, and their descendents remain. Then there are all of the Polynesians.
Chinese, Indians, Lebanese, and Filipinos are everywhere, and so anything including those ethnicities are going to be pretty common.
Hey, I have a friend with that ethnicity, too!
…wait a second here. 
I know a Korean-American woman who’s engaged to a Bulgarian dude.
I also have a friend who’s half of Mexican ancestry and half of Norwegian ancestry. It’s not really all that bizarre, but she has a lot of amusing stories of people trying to subtly determine how she acquired a Scandinavian last name, as she is quite Latina in appearance.
Are you sure these are Chinese? I’m no expert but I believe that NE India should be Tibetan or Tibetan related (not Han Chinese) “hill people”.
I’m all English, and only English. In a world where mixes are common, I guess that makes me unusual! 
Indian/Chinese mixes are very common in Singapore. I have a “Chindian” friend in UK.
I went to school in UK with a Muslim Korean/Bangladeshi guy. A classmate of mine had a Serbian/Jamaican kid.
A relative of mine was once engaged to a Korean Jew. Korean dad, Jewish mum, looked Korean, considered herself Jewish.
A friend of mine dated a guy who was (Asian) Indian/Black/Chinese/white. She also had a friend who was Indian/Brazilian.
I’ve come across Indian mixed with almost everything - Greek, Arab, Turkish, Spanish, French, German, Iranian, Malay
I have a friend who is Mexican/French.
This wouldn’t really be that odd, except she is the only American in her family. Her parents stayed in America just long enough to raise her to adulthood. She grew up with Thanksgiving, college football, etc. She had an all-American childhood in small town New England. She later joined the Peace Corps and now works for the government. An American identity is all she’s ever known.
Meanwhile, her parents ended what they saw as a temporary gig and moved back to Mexico long ago. Her siblings all live in France, and consider themselves French people raising French children and having French lives. Her aunts and uncles live in Mexico and are entirely Mexican people. None of them so much as think about America.
So she’s the only one in her family who considers English her first language, celebrates American holidays, has any interest in American culture, etc. It can be kind of odd to be the only one in a huge family who was raised in and lives in your culture. Could you imagine having one kid who is just randomly Chinese?
