I'd often heard others refer to a mixed race gal as "redbone". I never used the term myself, but I did see someone use it and some shock result from
it.
I never knew it as derogatory, and maybe it isn't.... I mean, is "mulatto" more acceptable? And if so, why?
Or, "mixed race"? Personally, people are people, but I do see the usefulness when describing someone, no different than "pale" or "tan", or having a
certain hair color, etc.
People get uptight about everything it seems. Jeez folks, just chill with it.
