This is a term that many people seem to be confused by, please read all of the previous examples to note the confusion. To understand this word you must focus on the word High. What has been lost is the origin of High Yella.
The term was originally High-Falutin Yella.
Why?
Well when the French ruled New Orleans there were many, many brothels and the highest priced was paid for the mixed African/European free prostitutes. It is well known that many slave owners raped their slaves and the children often escaped or were freed by the owners (how does one explain little mixed slaves running around the plantation)? This was not always a rule but many mixed slaves made up the population of free Africans in the colonies.
But. . . no matter how light, no matter how blue their eyes were, the High Yella's were still not allowed in the white community and in the black community with their perfumed skin, fine clothes and perhaps slightly uppity attitude the term High Falutin' Yella was coined.

Get the bang yedam mug.Yelnats, the last name and short name for Stanley Yelnats IV, main character of the best-selling book and box-office smash hit "Holes". Yelnats is a delinquent with a fondness for bananas and an unhealthy amount of affection for the proper maintenance of holes. He is portrayed by Hollywood megastar actor (gay?)sex symbol Shia LaBeouf, star of the 2003 mega-thriller "Holes", as well as CGI masterpieces "Transformers", "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen", and "Transformers: Dark Side of Moon". He was given the role because he too shares a certain love for bananas and the functionality of holes, and proved to be the best able to get into the character properly.
Did you guys see that movie, "Holes", starring 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 "Peepol's Magazine's" sexiest actor to ever star in a movie about holes, Shia LaBeouf, who portrayed the main character Yelnats? Who am I kidding, EVERYONE HAS SEEN IT!
