 Mulatto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While the criticism is a valid one, it fails to take into account that in the United States the historic Anglo-American tradition of the One-Drop Rule (the custom of deeming all people with any amount of African blood to be black) prevented mulattos from becoming an independent ethnic entity, with members seeing themselves as such.
Nevertheless, many mulattos were slaughtered by black Haitians during the wars of independence in order to secure black political power over the island.

 Veronica Chambers - The Tragic Mulatto
BLACKS who were light enough to pass for white—and did—were, in pre-Civil Rights America, as titillating as any tabloid story is today.
Hollywood quickly picked up on the box-office potential of these tales and scripted story after story about the ‘tragic mulatto,’ usually female, who suffered because of the “dualing bloods running through her veins.” For Fredricka Washington, these roles would become her bread and butter.
Washington, however, played the tragedy only on screen and remained, until her death at age 90, black and proud.

Yet when Talty finds himself in a conundrum, he turns to the black pop novel, stating, "But in these novels, the idea that whites are some kind of killer wraiths is fading, a touchstone from the past." On some level people of color probably want to believe that what Talty writes is true.
That "[America's] singers and writers broadcast the lonesome truth of American equality long before the nation honored it." That being American means being a mulatto.
What's most intriguing is his supposition that the color line is fading, given that today's pop culture has enabled youth of varying races to come together as "the society of the multicultural self, in which one assembles an identity out of the widest possible cultural materials." Surely for a white man, this could seem accurate.

 The Tragic MooLatte - Couldn't Dairy Queen find something else to call its new drink? By Timothy Noah
The "tragic mulatto," typically a beautiful woman who passes for white and thrives for a time in white society, only to be cast out after her pitiable taint becomes known, was a stock character in literature and popular culture well into the 20
What he meant was that "MooLatte" sounds a lot like "mulatto," which is a word, not in much use nowadays, that describes a person whose father is white and mother is black or (less common in bygone days) the other way around.
He sees no harm in calling Native Americans "Indians" or conjoined twins "Siamese twins." And while he personally would never use the term "mulatto" except in a clearly ironic context, that's mainly because it's archaic, not offensive.
