mulatto

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.

mulatto

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.

mulatto

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.
