WHAT DOES MULATTRESS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Mulatto

Mulatto is a term used to refer to a person who is born from one white parent and one black parent, or more broadly, a person of any proportion of noticeable European and African ancestry. In the broadest sense, it is applied to persons of Black and White ancestry. Contemporary usage of the term is generally confined to situations in which the term is considered relevant in a historical context, as now most people of mixed white and black ancestry rarely choose to self-identify as mulatto. The term is generally considered archaic by some and inadvertently derogatory, especially in the African-American community. The term is widely used in Latin America and Caribbean usually without suggesting any insult. Accepted modern terms in the United States include "mixed" and "biracial". Historically in the American South, the term mulatto was applied also at times to persons with an admixture of Native Americans, and African Americans in general.
