A person who is born of both black and a white parent was usually called "mulatto" in the United States, well past the end of the [[American Civil War]]. The term was also commonly used in the English- and Spanish-speaking Carribean nations. Racial terms like mulatto and quadroon (one black grandparent, three whites) fell into disuse thereafter, in part because of the insulting roots of the word: "mulatto" is derived from the Spanish word for "mule".
