Cappucino. My daughter is anglo and hispanic. A couple of her teachers called her that. When I was little, my mom used to tell us kids that one day, all the races would be blended together. She called it, 'cafe a'le' (coffee with cream).

cafe a'le' (coffee with cream). That's spelled café au lait (coffee with milk). It's French, and the expression is thought to have originated with the racial mixing of French- and African-descended people in the region of Louisiana.
