    Either way the baby will be mixed :-) not fully any ethnicity.

    I'd go with 3/4 Italian, 1/4 latino... but I'm no expert, lol!

    I am full latina and we joke around that once red paint is mixed in with white it will never be white again. Us latinos are the red paint of course :)

    lol, where are people getting 1/4?? Your baby will be 1/2 and 1/2. I am native american and when they determine the degree of indian blood for the child, they divide each parents blood in half!

    It depends a lot on which genetics are dominant and which are recessive, but if you's stated both of your genetic backgrounds accurately, he'd be 75%/25%.

    I know of very few people with a "pure" ancestry in America, though, and the same is true of Italy and most of Latin America. So even the two of you are probably a hodgepodge anyway.

    From the OP:
    I am full italian, however the dad/my bf is italian and half latino

    If her genetic ancestry is full Italian, that gives the child 50% Italian ancestry.

    If the father's ancestry is 50/50 Italian and Latino, that gives the child 25% Italian (added to the 50% from her means 75% Italian), and 25% Latino.
