mulatto
A mulatto is a person of mixed white and black ancestry, specifically a person who has one white parent and one black parent, or a person who has both black and white ancestral traits. The term has historical usage during the era of slavery in the United States, and its use is considered outdated and offensive in some cultures.

Mulatto
Mulatto is a term commonly used to refer to a person who is born from one white parent and one black parent, or more broadly, a person of any "mixed" ancestry. See Forbes, 1993 and mixed ancestry. Contemporary usage of the designation is generally confined to situations in which the term is considered relevant in an historical context, as now most people of mixed white and black ancestry rarely choose to self-identify as mulatto. The term is not commonly used any more but is generally considered archaic because of its association with slavery, colonial and racial oppression; accepted modern terms include "mixed" and "biracial". Mulattos may also include admixture of Native Americans, or indigenous groups of South America, and African Americans according to Henings Statutes of Virginia 1705, which reads as follows: "And for clearing all manner of doubts which hereafter may happen to arise upon the construction of this act, or any other act, who shall be accounted a mulatto, Be it enacted and declared, and it is hereby enacted and declared, That the child of an Indigenous and the child, grand child, or great grand child, of a negro shall be deemed, accounted, held and taken to be a mulatto."
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Mulatto
mū-lat′ō, n. the offspring of black and white parents:—fem. Mulatt′ress. [Sp. mulato.]
Etymology and Origins

From the Spanish mulato, a mixed breed, through mulo, a mule, the offspring of a white and a Negro.
