even the deeply offensive word "mulatto,"

I guess someone needs to educate me on why this is. I've never known this word to be "deeply offensive". Why is it? I thought it was just a simple term to define someone of mixed black/white race.

Yes, when did “mestizo” OR “mulatto” become a “deeply offensive word”? Both terms are descriptive, neither is derogatory in and of itself.
