Ok Mel, my grandfather is a "mulatto" I hate that term and my grandmother is fully Native-American. What does that make my mother? If her NA is 100% (no Negroid admixture), then she is mixed-raced, but from the pic you chose, she doesn't appear to be just 25% Black, correct? Her father must have been a mulatto like Thandie Newton or Boris Kajoe, no? Nevertheless, she is still mixed-raced if 1 parent had 0 Negro admixture, irregardless of her appearance. :)Remember, America was a different time in the 50s and 60s when she probably grew up. And maybe she was subjected to legal segregation and "back of the bus" treatment? So, she identifes only as Black now? It is genetically possible for her to have a muttaolid appeanace, at only 25% Black, but but her hair would be str8 or wavy and her features more "refined" than an abverage light-skinnwed Black. I think you chose a poor pic. Does she look Black to you? Or does she look mixed w/ Black to you? By your genetic estimates, she should looked mixed, with a Hispanc or SE Asian appearance.

What is the source all this admixture, mulatto, octaroon cotton-pickin' plantation accountant's view of things?

I use biracial, but it seems people on here only understand "mulatto" when it comes to dicussing mixed-raced individuals of Black heritage. I mean first generation biracial American. Better? Bircial or mixed is what is used nowadays to refer to "Black" Americans of mixed-raced lineage.
