In Brazil, we would call him "mulato" - it's a highly racism term,
that comes from "mule"; it's racist not because it's a reference
to Cyrus The Great, but because it's not used for white/native
or black/native mixes.

BTW, I imagine that Nostradamists are avidly seeking predictions
about a mule reigning in the West...
