Borrowed fromPortuguese and/orSpanishmulato(“of mixed breed, young mule”), frommulo(“mule”), fromLatinmūlus(“mule”). Perhaps an allusion to the hybrid origin of mules.[1]

1949, Edward Nicholas,The hours and the ages: a sequence of Americans, page77:Respectable folk who did not want trouble stayed withindoors; but young apprentices were abroad in force; Negroes andmulattoes; rope- makers and laborers from along the waterfront; and sailors hastening ashore from the ships[…]
2004, Arthur Herzog, Jr,Icetopia, page78:The supermodelesquemulatto woman licked her lips and smiled invitingly.
2005, Jeffrey M. Shumway,The Case of the Ugly Suitor & Other Histories of Love, Gender, & Nation in Buenos Aires, 1776-1870:The official mouthpiece of the Rosas government,La Gaceta Mercantil, praised Afro-Argentines as “valiant defenders of liberty who have won fame and glory in a hundred battles,” adding that “General Rosas so appreciates themulattos andmorenos that he has no objection to seating them at his table and eating with them.”
In other respects, however, the persistence of racism against Afro-Argentines,Indians, andgauchos showed regrettable continuities with the colonial past.
