People become violently upset at being called a mutt (generally used to refer to a non-pure bred dog), or mulatto, which, of course, stems from the Spanish mulato meaning mule; the hybrid of a horse and a donkey. ... It kills me every time I have to remind someone what “mulatto” means and why I don’t particularly like it.
