cREoLE-w. NJ. j., City. Is there
any negro blood in creole? Are
there white and Spanish creoles?
Creole is from the Spanish criollo.
The word means nursed, grown up
from ~criar, to breed. In Louisiana,
Spanish America, West Indies and
Mauritius the word denotes. in its
widest sense, any one born in the
country, but of a race not native to 1T.
1t is usually applied. however. to per-
sons born in the colony or country of
pure European blood, as distinguished
both from immigrant Europeans and
from the offspring of mixed blood. In
Brazil the name is applied to a native
of the country but of African parents.
In the West Indies 1T is also applied to
natives, white, black or mixed races.
