If one parent is fully race and other parent is biracial, are their children still mixed?

One of my friends, her mom is 100% latina (Costa Rican) and her dad is biracial, half latino (Cuban) (50%) and half black (50%).
Would her be mostly Hispanic with black roots or just mixed?

My mother’s ancestry was 100% Irish.
My father’s ancestry was Italian, Greek, Spanish, African, Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian.
I could be considered biracial (maybe triracial)....mixed race, or as I’d say, I’m a mutt.

Before DNA testing, I thought I was purely of European (white) descent....but I embrace my mixed heritage. Some with mixed heritage consider themselves one race or another.
Most of my father’s ancestry is European as is all of my mother’s, so I could identify as such and call myself white (and you couldn’t tell otherwise by looking at me)....but I want to acknowledge all of my ancestry.
