Why aren't racially mixed people sterile?

today in biology class our teacher told us that if two different species like a horse and a donkey mate, the offspring is sterile.

if this is so, how was barack obama able to have children if he had a white mother and a black father, both different species.

    Race is not the human equivalent of species. A black person and a white person are not different species, they are the same species with different skin tones

    Because they’re the same species. Also, when you find yourself unable to reproduce with a human, you’ll now understand why.

    closely related species are able to crossbreed, and the races might better be classified as different species. the fact that most humans are less than 3% neanderthal suggests there are winners and loosers.

    That is the definition of a species. and the difference between a race and a species.

    A male donkey (jack) can be crossed with a female horse to produce a mule. A male horse can be crossed with a female donkey to produce a hinny. Horse-donkey hybrids are almost always sterile because horses have 64 chromosomes whereas donkeys have 62, producing offspring with 63 chromosomes.

    thus horses and donkeys are two different speices not two different races of the same species
