A person who is of mixed blood/heritage/genetics/etc. Basically, America as a whole are Mulattos or "muts" mixed breed. There is not such thing as pure or 50/50 anything. Every individual, especially in the Melting Pot of America has varying degrees of a "ethnic group", races don't exist, just varying degrees of genetic difference that appear and go "recessive" in our genes through generations of interracial cohabitation through human kind. Which is why you can find blonde hair in middle africa and some slant eye groups in eastern european.
But mostly mulatto is a "black/white" mixture in American terms.

Paul is a mulatto, but after doing his Genome data by a Professional, he's 60 percent east asian.
Human Kind is one race... the human race. Get use to having more than just Black or White in your genes, Hell, Henery Lewis Gates, look like any of my relatives form Louisiana, but he has mito/DNA that matches irish blood generations back. Do your research Americans and deal with the ethnic consequences. enjoy your discoveries like I have.

An offensive term used to describe a person who is usually half black and half white. Some say it was first used offensively in the slave days when children were born to slave owner and slave. Derived from the word mule, meaning 1/2 donkey, 1/2 horse. Sometimes defined as white with anything added to it. Again a very offensive term to interracial people.
"Ignorant example"- Hey see that girl there, her mom is black and dad is white, I think that makes her a mulatto.

a half black person or light skin black or brown skin black. Mulatto is now considered a racist tem.
Light skin blacks and brown skin blacks were also considered mulattoes. Dark skin blacks were considered negroes. Negro is now considered offensive.

The term "mulatto" is widely considered a derogatory term nowadays. It was coined during the slave trade era. It stems from the word "mule". A mule by defintion is half horse and half jack ass. Guess who was thought to be the jack ass back then? We all know who the jack ass is today. Power to my people!!!!!
Be a Halfrican and be P.C.! Calling yourself "mulatto" is the African American equivalent to the "N" word.

North American term for a person who has some mixture between white and black ancestry. It is usually unknown in these people and not so obvious, until a DNA test is taken.
Interesting factoid: Rappers like Nas, Ludacris and Royce da 5'9 have some white in them and are (technically) mulattos. DNA tests provided from them have proven that one of their great great grandfathers was a white slaveowner.

A person of mixed ancestry. Most commonly used to refer to people of both African and European ancestry. It has been used in early American history to refer to the children of Native Americans and Europeans as well. This later usage has fallen into disuse.
In Latin America and especially Brazil, the female version, mulata has come to be used also to refer to a beautiful woman of afrodescent, irrespective of level European admixture.
The Etymology of the word comes from old Spanish for little mule. Mulato or muleto means little mule, just like jabato means little jabali (Boar).
Some people have erroneously claimed that Mulatto comes from from Muwalladin in Arab.
The Muwallad theory encounters certain problems when compared to a timeline of usage and definition. The term mulato is documented in the data bank of the Real Academia Española (Spanish Royal Academy) for the first time in 1472. It states "The term mulata is documented in our diachronic data bank in 1472 and is used in reference to livestock mules in "Documentacion medieval de la Corte del Justicia de Ganaderos de Zaragoza", whereas muladí (from mullawadí) does not appear until the XVIII century, according to Corominas". Another problem with the Muwallad theory of origin is that Muwallad is not phonetically similar to Mulato. Mu LAH toh vs Mu wah LAD. The theory of Muladí a later derivative of Muwallad (Plural Muwalladin, shortened to Muladí) was based on some similarity with Mulato in writing. But even there, Muladí has a stress on the last vocal, while Mulato doesn't. Mu lah DI vs Mu LAH to. Neither by timeline comparison or phonetic comparison can we see any valid evidence for this claim.
