Love / Foreigner's opinion about polish ladies [304]
This is absolutely correct. The first mulatos were the descendents of Portuguese sailors/ plantation owners and African women who were brought to Brazil, then a Portuguese colony. Further north the descendents of the Spanish sailors, etc, with the local inhabitants (the local Indian tribes present in South America) were / are called by the North Americans the Latinos. I suppose the descendents of the Indians alone are also called the Latinos I suppose because they speak Spanish... I suppose then you have combinations of all three and these I don't think any name just like combinations of any other races have no special name.
Mulatto (also Mulato) is a term of Spanish and/or Portuguese origin describing first-generation offspring of African and European ancestry. Formerly a feminine form, mulattress was formed on analogy with "negress." The forms "mulatta/mulata" survive in Spanish and Portuguese. Thus, though many Americans of Hispanic and/or Latino origin identify themselves as mulatto, the term is rarely used by non-Hispanic African Americans
