Mulatto (also Mulato; Haitian Creole: milat) is a term of Spanish and/or Portuguese origin describing the offspring of African and European ancestry. While mulattos, during French colonialism in Saint-Domingue, had a lower social status than the white colonialists and considerably less rights, many were slave holders and and have held power in post revolutionary Haiti to this day. By some estimates mulattos are currently five percent of Haiti's total population.
