Mulatto

From Metapedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Mulatto is a person who has both black and white ancestry. It can also be used as an adjective to describe something as a light brown color.[1]

This word is regarded as pejorative or even offensive by most English speakers, because it also means "small mule", and was also used during slave times to define a person of mixed heritage. The politically correct term for a person of mixed race today is "biracial."
