使用する際の注意点

• Often considered offensive, pejorative, or old-fashioned, and therefore alternative terms are more common in contemporary use, such as interracial, interethnic, or cross-cultural for relationships, and mixed-race, multiethnic, multiracial, or mixed for persons.
• In scholarly use, miscegenation is particularly used for historical discussions, and in current use it has been repurposed by academics to analyze the emotions, reactions, and anxieties held by people about interracial couplings. For further information, see also English Wikipedia's page on the usage of the term.
