Mulatto is no longer commonly used in the United States. Some who prefer terms such as biracial may consider it offensive. [16] It existed as an official census category until 1930[citation needed]. In the south of the country, mulattos inherited slave status if their mothers were slaves.

I wonder if you feel that the offspring of White Slave Owner/Black Slave relationships should also have their 'African-American' status 'revoked'?

For all intents and purposes 'Bi-Racial' citizens of the United States are treated as if they were 'Black'
I dare you to go ask any African American on the street if having white blood in them makes them any less 'Black'.
