idk why the fixations on the term 'pure blood' (or 'full blood'). comparatively, 'full blood' would mean the same (or very similar) as 'pure blood'. they are Saiyan race. how much 'pure blood' could one go with that?

but seriously, since it's a work of fiction, I really can't argue much on the usage of the term 'pure blood'.

except , what's the valid arguments against labeling the Saiyans who were of unmixed ancestry as simply 'Saiyans' or 'Saiyan race' ? simpler, concise, clearer, straight forward.
 * that there doesn't seem to be any    official    sanctioned/endorsed   sources/references   in DB and DBZ manga and anime as well as in-game (Dokkan Battle)   that there is such thing as 'pure blood' in this fiction world (note: I have not read/watch anything beyond DB GT. the last movies I watched were either "Resurrection F" or "DB GT" years ago).
 * the term only sporadically appeared within the context when referred to by a particular character or characters, and/or in limited contexts (in a small part/s of a scene/s within a chapter/s).
 * the point above automatically invalidated and countered, " Vegeta is Royalty, refers to himself as pure blooded alll the time ."
 * Vegeta would sporadically refer himself as 'pure blood' when he was exceedingly provoked and/or raging. it had more to do with part of his characterization by the author, which would be that, Saiyans (the race) tend to be of a proud warriors race, and also since Vegeta was of the royal heritage/lineage.
 * there has yet been any (semi-)official printed materials endorsing/supporting the term 'pure blood'. there was no mention of this term as official, for example, in Shonen, or the later V-Jump
 * more concise, simpler, clearer, and more straight forward than adding the redundant term 'pure blood' on top of 'Saiyans or 'Saiyan (the race)'

and, what's the valid arguments against labeling the offsprings Saiyans of mixed marriages, like Trunks, Pan, Gohan, Goten, etc. simply as 'half-breed Saiyans' or 'mixed race' or something else more accurate?

I like the term 'Hybrid' posted by Mazdafreak, but not exactly sure which characters would fall well under that category. initially I would jump at fusion characters with being labelled as a 'Hybrid', but if we follow the logicality of 'being born' (as with the dubious term 'pure blood'), then those characters weren't born or products of birth. the only that bear resemblance as a product of birth but not of unmixed ancestry would be bio-engineered Bio Broly.

in the case of Trunks, Goten, Gohan, 'half-breeds' term would be more appropriate, else 'of mixed race'.

I've presented my arguments, and the points and sub-points arguing against the use of the term 'pure blood'. I have proposed an alternative, or alternatives. the term appeared sporadically, sparsely, infrequently, constrained within contexts (or sub-contexts), limited within scenes (or sub-scenes).

the term got picked up by some fans (much) later on.

the case maybe would've been different entirely if Toriyama had himself officially and explicitly inserted the term 'pure blood' as part of the canonical works. and/or, other media like Shonen, V-Jump, etc. quoted and sourced explicitly an official source or sources of the legitimacy of the term 'pure blood'.

Toriyama did not. Toriyama has yet to.

and we are talking about 30 years of Dragon Ball, where he could and he would have plenty enough time to ponder and think and decide whether to explicitly insert the term 'pure blood' into his fictional word as official. he did not. he has yet to.
