• A mixed race person or people, especially if the mix includes African and European, or an adjective describing these people. Can be either a recent mixture with parents or grandparents of different races, or members of old mixed race groups like the Cape Coloureds of South Africa or the Rehobothers of [Namibia]. It is not derogatory or perjorative per se, but may be used that way by those who disapprove of racial mixing. Used throughout [Anglophone] [Sub-Saharan Africa], from Colonial British English.
