Line 1:
Line 1: − A term that used to be used describe a person who is born of both an African and a European parent or of two mulatto parents (e.i. half black and half white). In the United States it was also once used to refer to a person who was half Native American and half European. Its use to describe someone is now considered inflammatory. <ref>http://www.conservapedia.com/User_talk:Sulgran#Barack_Obama</ref>+ − <references/>+
more than mulatto
Human skin color varies from a melanin-rich dark brown (called "black"), to a lighter brown or "red", to "yellow" and to a pinkish tan called "white".
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. Racial terms like mulatto and quadroon (one black grandparent, three whites) fell into disuse thereafter.
