First things first. The word "mulato" is said to be derived from Portuguese and Spanish from the word mulato which was originally "mula" meaning mule. The hybird from a mule and a donkey is said to be mulato. If you trust the other scholars which most Spanish do not, they say it comes from the Arabic's word of "muwallad" which means a person of mixed ancestry but being born and raised among the Arab's and are not pure Arab blood. So this word really doesn't come from the US at all and the Federal Gov. will not accept it at all. Still others say it comes from the Europeans when the babies are mixed with African Americans and Europeans. Again not in the US at all so we really cannot take this word and claim it as our own.
