As someone mentioned, Cassie is a good example of someone who is mixed Black, White, and Filipina. I had a friend like that, and she was not considered black or white, but mixed or unknown.

A half-White half-Asian mix can usually pass as a White by Whites, but a Hispanic Mestizo (half-White half-Amerindian) who identifies themselves as Hispanic/Latino will often be viewed as Hispanic and non-White. Even some pure White Hispanics will be viewed as non-White as long as they identify themselves culturally as Hispanic, from my experience.

Also, non-Europid Caucasoids that are pure White/Caucasoid such as Middle Easterners/North Africans and light-skinned Indids, Iranids, and Turanids are sometimes not considered White due to their cultural and religious differences.

But sometimes I think it's a matter of status be it economic, social, or political status. Since Asians historically are viewed as middle class or higher and as good citizens, then the racial differences are less pronounced, and more acceptable. So a person who is half-White half-Asian, is accepted as White, because the Asian half is viewed as positive. This can also happen at an individual level where someone like Derek Jeter who looks majority White and part Black, can probably be viewed as White, because he's such a positive figure and has high social status.
