[lbo-talk] Why is Obama never identified as a mulatto?

[Wojtek S]

For racists, he is still a n-word even if his mother was white.  For
liberals, he is an iconic figure as the first African American POTUS.
So this means that nobody really cares about his true ethnicity.
Besides, I have not seen the word mulatto being used in the US - it is
either too derogatory or not enough derogatory.
