Part of it is social and part of it is genetic.
From a social PoV, in Cuba, someone as you describe 3/4 one and 1/4 the other would be likely be put in the category of the 3/4. In some places an albino is just someone with different genetic characteristic, in other places they are a creature that brings bad luck and suffer violence.
Dog and cat breeds are distinguished throughout the world. It's genetic and socially constructed as well.
