I don't have a need to catagorize. I just have a problem with the term.

I am familiar with the term mulatto. I believe that being offended would probably vary based on individual beliefs of what they would like to be refered to as.

It is an old term, used in the days that blacks were called ****** and whites were called "massa". The world is growing up beyond the need to classify people by their "breeding". If you look deep enough, nobody is a pure blood, if that means anything anyway.

Sorry don't have the parent mix, just a problem with "terms" concerning people, What ever happened to NATIONALITIES of people, regardless of race/mix?

Why do you need to categorise somebody in that way? Does it make you feel superior ?The person you are referring to is just another human being and if his name is John then that's what he is. A man called John.
