[QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [QB] "Mulatto" is a Spanish word meaning "little mule"--i.e. the offspring of horse and a donkey. It was originally thought by the Spanish Conquistadors of the Americas that the offspring of blacks/Africans and whites/Europeans were infertile due to the claim that both races were as far apart genetically as horses and donkeys. In the U.S. the racial categories of octoroon, quadroon, mulatto, and "negro"/black were created by the European settlers to account for degrees of European ancestry in the individuals with African ancestry. But African ancestry was seen as so toxic and dysgenic in the U.S. racial caste system that a 1/32 cut-off level was seen to be safe enough to avoid embarrassing "throw-backs" in people's families. This explains why an American with a white/mother could be considered "black". The racist "one drop" rule is absurd, but that does not stop Americans from upholding this obvious bit or white racism. For Native Americans--the cut-off point is--as they put it-- a "blood quantum of 1/16". This explains why visitors to "Indian Reservations" often see people with blue eyes and pale skins posing as "Indians". Another example of "congealed racism". [/QB][/QUOTE]
