keturunan bangsa

Ramai orang berbangsa kacukan.

Peer comment(s):

agree	Bashir Basalamah : maybe it should "berketurunan kacukan", since source talks of "ancestry" 2 mins
	Well, ancestry could be referring to royalty (keturunan raja), aristocrats (keturunan bangsawan), etc, i.e. not specific, but in this case it's specifically racial ancestry and the element of race should be reflected in the translation.
