miscegenation (countable and uncountable, plural miscegenations)
(chiefly, US, see usage notes) The mixing or blending of race in marriage or breeding, interracial marriage. [from 1863]
(figuratively) A mixing or blending, especially one which is considered to be inappropriate.
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, 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 also see English Wikipedia's page on miscegenation's section on its usage.
