Octoroon
A person who looks mostly white but has some black in them. They’re like the forgotten middle child of race.
He's an octoroon. People think he's white, but he's got a black grandpa who never showed up to the family reunion.
My friend's an octoroon. She’s got the skin of a white girl but the soul of a rebel.
He says he’s white, but he’s got a 1/8 black gene. It's like being a part-time black person.
