    I'm Korean-American, and my husband is Mexican.

    Do I say my baby is Korean-American and Mexican? 

    What's a short word to say?

    What's with this obsession you've got with "explaining" your baby?  

    You say, "This is my baby."  Done.

    I totally agree with Zirp..I don't understand  Americans who claim nationalities but they don't speak the languages spoken by those nationalities ..For instance , many people in the U.S. claim to be Italian American or Mexican American but they are unable to hold a conversation in Italian or Spanish ..As for you, do you speak Korean ? if not then maybe you should reconsider whether you are indeed "American korean".

    Now, even if your husband speaks Spanish , I highly doubt that your child will become fluent in Spanish (or Korean ) since most children born to foreign parents and up learning only English ...so your child is just American nothing else .

    Why do you have to say anything?

    If anyone asks, say "She's mixed Korean and Mexican". Or just say, "Well, I'm Korean by descent, and her father's Mexican".

    How about 'mixed race', or just the nation in which it was born?
