I call myself mulatto on occasion, I haven't heard anyone be offended by it thus far.

Well, I've never heard anyone using it, outside of one comment after mine and you. Like I said, I was taught in school to never use it because of its historical implications. So I never have and never will, unless I write a historical story or something where it'd make sense for people to use the word ^^; I'm actually surprised no one else seems to have been taught about the word in a historical sense in school, and the fact that no one has a problem with it :shrug: Oh, well. xD

Oh I've learned about it historically. Hm, I guess it's just a reappropriation of words thing, like f****t or dy*e or n****r. =/
