[what's it like being mulatto in your eyes] um... confusing.. sometimes you wonder whether your black or white and then i just didn't want to say i was either.
[when and where did you first hear the word mulatto?] When I was much younger dunno what year exactly, it's funny that in my parents language (Mauritian Creole) we have a funny phrase for mulattoes - milat corbo (Mulatto Crow) which is impossible because crows are black as you all must know!
[for what it's worth, do you ever really feel like you belong in a certain crowd?] Hmmm... not too sure, I count myself among other Mauritians though (Mauritius is an island near Madagascar for all of you that didn't know) but then again I've decided that Mauritians aren't African enough i.e. I've got too much European culture compared to my African culture due to slavery of course.
