Blended People of America

I don't see why not. Thing is I never thought the word "nigga" was all that positive. It is a ttached to a word that is simply to negative (the N word). Mulatto isn't near the gravity of that even when you think of the mule thing. I've never heard of someone being called a mulatto and hung have you?

Concepts are offensive if people press it and the masses accept it. Why should mulatto be offensive? I don't think it has to be.

2cents from a hapa

This is nice and you make some sensical points here.

I don't think getting the word mulatto to be a popular word will be an issue. I just wonder if people will be able to see past black or white and be human. If they can do that then they can accept the way people look and identify.

mulatto's deserve to be recognized! nice!

Colour is the most obvious of all racial differences. I recommend the book Words Apart – The Language of Prejudice. Making skin color an important aspect of our lives has justified untold massacres, enslavements, crusades and pious missions. … In linguistic terms it has generated, probably to no one’s great surprise, more slurs than any other category of vilification.

It’s a pretty good bet that mulatto began this way. One can imagine it was originally accompanied by snickering, as innocent children were labelled “mules” by adults who felt superior to those they considered lowly hybrids.

Getting the word to endure will prove hard with all the etymology attached.

I don't like the word. It just brings up ideas of being 'defined' -- and being made in to the 'Other' --for me...and that still stings a bit for me. The mule-thing pushed me over the edge. I am not a pack-animal and don't like being denominated as such.
Sure, if I am with my friends and want to Make Fun of the titles we've been given (nigger, faggot, mulatto, bitch, whatever) then I may whip it out for humorous effect (yes, I have a sense o' humor, well-hidden though it may be in this note).
And, um, if the words dying out... why bring it back in? Why don't come up with some oTHER word that doesn't make black = bad (or 'inclusive') or less pure and doesn't feel like some (white) scientist naming some subject ("...I pronounce thee MULATTO...!"). Let's call us... Zelappo -Kings. Or Mad Super Racers. Or Glorious blackwhite mixed M#$%4-F*&$ers.... there's gotta be something better than 'mulatto', right?

OMG! It doesn't "inhibit sterility" it CAUSES sterility! All male mules and most female mules are infertile.
How could such a huge mistake be made in an article that is supposed to be teaching about this word and why this word is offensive?
That is one of the biggest reason for its offense-That mixing Black people and White people creates a sterile offspring.
Shame on you.

Lol, that's pretty good "Zelappo Kings"..."Mad Super Racers"...very good

But yes you're right, I think if people put their heads together a lot better they should be able to come up with something beyond just "Mulatto"...I for one don't mind it but as others have said it does have a historical connotation attached to it that many people don't like. Just the comments on here alone can verify that, it's a no brainer.

Eurafrican is a better description for an Black African and European mix..

i think it's still more interesting in this case that when one comes across a child or an adult that child's black side of the family identifies the person as white,just as the white half would do the same looking at the person as black just an observation i mean i never really put Obama in that black category and beside i just use biracial and to some affectionate degree swirl i have many female "mulatto" friends and i typically call them white again i'm not necessarily labeling them just terms of endearment.

my whole family is bi-racial, every last one of us we are of all colors of the spectrum, most people just concider us Black. Those of them that know us know we are so many beautiful mixtures. i don't see the problem in someone being called "Mulatto", but i think it just doesn't roll off the tongue easliy.
Mixed is easier, if we all just focus on how beautiful we all are, and all the history crammed into our bloodline, features, talents, maybe one day a signifying lable will not be needed. we will just be people. Pipe Dream, i know but wouldn't it be a lovely thing? to stop being black, white, mexican, and just be a combination of strength, ancestry and beauty.

I grew up in family with a grandfather that was a black man that was able to pass for a white man. I was able to pass for black in my family? (funny) My very lighter skin cousins did not fair so well back in the 1950s in an all black schools during segregation. My cousins who were black but could pass for white were abused very badly back in the day. I have never head anyone in my family talk about the abuses that "Mulatto" so you say, children suffered by the hand of the darker blacks? You know how children don’t come home and tell their parent everything. We just don't about that. Now do we. There are all kinds of fruit in a fruit bowl, now you tell me that it is not all good? I can not tell you how many time that I had to stand in front of my cousin Sue on the play ground screaming “leave her alone“! to keep a mob of angry darker school mates from beating on her and pulling her until her scalp bled. I can not tell you how many times I had to shield her on our school bus to keep my Light skin cousin Sue with the Long Curley hair from being punched in the face. Sue knew that if she tried to fight back it would just make matters harder for her. Well dark me did not get it? At the time we were just little kids not knowing what we were battling with. Today my cousin Sue still sit in a position a with her head held down? and we are all in our late 50s? I feel as if you are hitting this little baby in the face with a fist in the shape of a label. I look at the picture of the baby above and she is not give off a body language showing the fear like my of my cousin? This little girl appears to be very happy? But she will and soon, because she will have to learn by asking her mom. Mom what’s a Mulatto? Why? I think that Jennifer Hudson said it best "We are changing, in every way we can"? We need to have this information as part of our history for sure! as a definition that was use to define us during slavery. but not as if the baby above and my cousin Sue are something that need to be accepted as part of the human race. Mulatto means "Mule" which is a negative termed use to define Blacks as less than full human. A mule is a pack animal that was make to carry heavy loads that humans can not carry. The old Slave master's Webster dictionary definition should no longer be used to define us Americans of African Ancestry any longer.

My name means white. When I was born and my parents saw me they changed my middle name to my first name. I grew up in '70s/'80s southern America in a home with an older sister who looked "mixed" and I looked white (except for my hair - of course!) . It was not easy. I am glad things are slowly changing, and nothing today compares to the things I went through. Being mulatto is a group unto itself. We are the largest minority. We are not part of any larger catagory - white or black - but are a group unto ourselves. We are discriminated against by both and yet manage to be a proud group. It is not easy. I encourage my mulatto brothers and sisters to be strong and love your heritage. Remember you are not alone. There are those who went before you and had to deal with what you deal with only much, much worse. Keep your head up. Be strong. You will make it through the tough times. You are special and precious.
I have come to value the term Mulatto. I take pride in being mulatto. I have an ethnic identity that happens to be African American, but I am mulatto. Biologically my background is European and African. I am mulatto and love it. However, I do not think mulatto is a term that applies to light skinned blacks. No offense, but growing up in a household where everyone was light-skinned does not make you mulatto. Mulatto is one of white and black parents. It is different from being born in a light-skinned family, The challenges and experiences are different. The support is different. There was no one in my family who looked like me, and until I explained it to my sister, even she did not understand. It is not the same! Mulatto is a unique experience.

I do not know how it is in the US, but in Africa we are Mulattos, and we are called Mulattos by both Blacks and Whites.
In South America we are also called Mulattos, and we wear our name proudly.
In the same way that Slavic people from Europe, distanced themselves from the negativity of their name: Slavic = Slave. We too have distanced ourselves from the negativity of our name.
We are a mixed people, a part of both the Black and White races, however we belong to ourselves, to the Mulatto race.

Well imagine being like me mother half White French half saint Lucian fathe half English half Bengali... Where do I fit It.... People think I am polynesian

What I have heard, is that if mulattoes keep interbreeding with each other, after about four generations there's an issue with sterility.

You know, there are different races for a reason, why mix them all up? (Keep doing that, and you won't have any more diversity! Way to go!)

This is good that we are able to take the loan moreover, that opens up completely new opportunities.

i am a mulatto. i when i grew up in jim crow america years ago i remember blacks saying that i wasnt black and whites saying that i wasnt white, so i use the word mulatto. it doesnt bother me. i dont try to fit into the white world or the black world just because we still in this country go by the one drop rule and society tries to drfeine the individual. some black/white people are ok with usine the term mulatto, others are not. it is better left up to the personal choice of the individual. also to respond to misinfo? written by a ms alexandra, on 8/27/10 you are misinformed truly. if mulattos keep inbreeding with each other (although outside of lisa bonet and lenny kravitz i havent heard of too many mulatto-mulatto relationships) they would not not after four generations have an issue of sterility. we are capable of procreation in mulatto-mulatto relationships for generations just like other cultures

Yes, MULE!. As in slave or property to work. Race was of very little significance. It's in our history books. 1800 century of classes. Webster was a gentleman. Some men talk about and some men just do it!

There are conflicting definitions of "mulatto." While no one should be ashamed of his/her ethnic background, what a person is, is what he is. Two mulattos who marry will produce mulatto children. Some light skinned blacks are light because of a person of a lighter race somewhere in their foreparentage. Some are light because of recent race mixing. So, I suppose they should already know their lineage. All mixed children are not light skinned. Many half black children with one white parent look like light skinned blacks with two light skinned black parents. In other words, not so much white as black. They are still mulattos. I have a near relative who was born with blonde hair and blue eyes, but he has two black parents. Many people thought that he was white, when he was an infant, and his mom was a sitter. Now that he is older, many think that he is half white, but he is not. So, we cannot always look at color and determine a person's ethnic background. I often see whites who have brown knuckles, brown knees and elbows, and many with natural tan skin--children and adults. I have seen whites I thought were black and were offended when I innocently indicated it, especially the tanned ones with extremely curly hair. A number of whites have confided in me that they have a black parent or black foreparent, but it was a secret. I have known of whites to be fired from jobs because their secrets were discovered by racist employers. I have known blacks, who looked white, to disappear to live a life without racial opression. Who could blame them considering the bitter pill that blacks have had to swallow, and considering that they are both black and white? It was not about loving white skin; it was about freedom and being treated like a person, not a mule. White skin grew to be associated with priviledges. Naturally most minds would equate white with positive thoughts.

Many half whites have passed for white without their husband's or wife's knowledge and that race mixing is like an underground river. Many whites are "black" and do not know it, if we use the traditional definition of black--one drop. Many know it and ignore it. So, who is mulatto? I do not like the use of "mulatto" because of its origin, but if it becomes acceptable, i will respect it for its current meaning. Of course, there are those who still find it very offensive.

I have an aquaintance who met her brother-in-law for the first time a year ago. Her sister, married to him, is half white, but looked all white. The sister introduced herself to her brother-in-law as his wife's sister. He learned then that his wife was half black. The half-sister was not aware that he did not know. I am not the only one with these observations. The man kept his wife and they are having children. So, those children will likely marry whites since they live in a white world. So, who is mulatto? Many mulattos do not know that they are mulattos, and many others who can conceal it won't tell because of racism. Mulattos are numerous. Someone said that it was the largest minority. It is larger than most people realize. No one counts the secrets, of which many of the bearers are in their graves. That is why many racist blacks, whites, and some others are afraid of genetics DNA tests. Even if they discover a secret blood mixture, many would pass it off as unimportant. This is a truth that many would rather play the ostrich than to admit. So, it implements itself continually without the bearers' permission.

Face it, if the one-drop rule was fully enforced by requiring a DNA test as proof of race, for example, many whites would be devastated. Many whites have blacks slave ancestors, and many blacks have white ancestors. Many of the forefathers that whites boast of are the forefathers of many blacks, although blacks do not talk about it. If mixing is a crime, who is to blame? Maybe it began at a time that people ignorantly thought that mulattos could not reproduce because the black females were considered to be horses who mated with white male donkeys, so, to their surprise, they gave birth to mulos (mulattos). Maybe they were considered new improved mules in the stalls. That ignorance is mind-blowing! Just wondering.

Evelyn:

You were a minority among minorities. The biracials were abused, and the blacks were abused. All minorities suffer abuse. There is no excuse for abuse, but these children learn from ignorant adults who talk the racist trash around their children, therefore, teaching them to be racists, too.

When I was a child, I saw pictures in magazines with whites burning or hanging blacks while their little children looked on pointing and laughing. Black children ignorantly considered half white children to be their enemies. The adults on both sides are the ones responsible for the poison in these children's minds.

What is a little black girl to think after a white man pushes her aside so he can make his purchase first? How is she supposed to feel about herself when this happens often, and there is nothing her parents can do about it? I was such a girl. Thank God that I had a Christian mom who taught me to "love but do not trust." Thank God that I had a daddy who did not teach me to hate, although he never indicated that I should love. I am a produuct of the Civil Rights era, and I have numerous stories of abuse from other races. I am proud to say that I am a survivor with a not-so-perfect strong mind. I decided that my experiences would teach me, not break me.

i think the word is cool. plus mulattoes are so incredibly smart. and the vast majority are incredibly goodlooking AND sexy, especially the men. Examples: Rick Fox, Lenny Kravitz, Louis Smith, Rob Evans, Drake, etc etc.
the word mulatto (as well as the infamous sambo) are not derogatory in spanish as they simply describes a person with parents of different races. nothing else.
im still looking for a sexy sensuous mulatto i can spend the rest of my life with. any ideas?

I just began using the word Mulatto. I enjoy it actually because its the closest racial description to describe my makeup. Black/White and some Native American. However, it speaks to my experience of having white/black parents. It's a very unique experience, different than having two black parents. I haven't bonded with too many Mulattos yet, but I look forward to. It's kinda a coming out period for me Mulattically. OK now it's getting rediculous. But seriously, I'm glad to finally belong to a people, and I'm interested in exploring our community moreso. MixedRoots has a great festival where a lot of Mulattos are present, which is an amazing feeling. As told to me by a Jewish professor when visiting Israel for the first time... A muscle relaxed in her body she never knew was clinched before. That's the same why I feel around a room full of Mulattos... Seen! Finally seen! Not as exotic, where I go chameleon mode to be blacker or be whiter... hell I got mexican.... Asian.. what do you want!? I could just be me and errybody there understands without me having to say a word. In short, the feeling is "priceless". I am proud to be a Mulatto... actually so proud to be Mulatto. I'm just happy to finally fit in somewhere and not have to hide my racial background. Freedom.. The root doesn't bother me either, It's silly. And I don't relate it to being a mule. It sounds exotic (here we go again) and cool to me. But it reminds me of Mestiza, or Mexica, "Mixed-breed" people's found in Latin America and the Carribean. We are a smoking hot people, got some ugly one's too, but we are a beautiful people, have our own culture, albeit with Mulattos its underground. I've found us to be awesome though. Bob Marley, Barrack Obama, Alicia Keys.. Nuff said. One love my people, love yourselves! Peace.
