To isolate means to contain or withhold within a certain boundary. Nothing goes in, nothing goes out. Whatever is being isolated is protected from most means of harm - Yes, I said "most", because isolation doesn't always have its benefits. Believe me, I know.

Triracial Isolate 

A Triracial Isolate community is a community of people who have been mixed, a genetic mix of 3 different races, for several generations, developing their own unique identity and culture. They're common in countries that went through European colonialism, like in the USA where some 400+ triracial isolate groups of various sizes reside. The Sweetgum Kriyuls are most well-known, being a group of triracial isolates in the Southern and Eastern USA, divided into tribes such as the Melungeons, Lumbees, Moors of Delaware, Ethnic Qarsherskiyan, and Marlboro Blue Tribe.
Triracial Isolate groups like the Melungeons, Lumbees, and Qarsherskiyans are more influential on America than most people realize. Elvis Presley was a Melungeon. So is JD Vance.

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
