Who Are Creoles?

What is the correct meaning of
the term Creole? OF course you
know, or at least you think you
know. 1t Is term of peculiarly
American significance and is in such
common use among us that every
body knows what 1t means-to
them; but the trouble is that 1t
does not mean the same to every
body. A party of young men were
disputing in regard to the exact
meaning of the word Creole" and a
newspaper man was called upon to
give his definition of 1t. He did so
and found afterward that quite d.
yersity of opinion existed among
those present but a majority seemed
to agree that the term did not apply
particularly to persons of color. II
would seem that there should be a
common understanding of the cor
rect meaning of the term in such
common use. Here Is the definition
according to Webster: Creole N. CTR.
Creole. from Sp. Criollo, meaning
properly created.) 1. One born In
America or the West Indies OF Euro
pean ancestors. 2. One born within
or near the tropics. Note--"The term
creole negro Is employed In the Eng
lish West Indies to distinguish the
negroes born there from the Afri-
cans imported during the time of the
slave trade. The application of the
term to the colored people has led to
an idea common In some parts of the
United States, though wholly un-
founded, that It implies an admix-
ture greater or less OF African
blood "-R. Hjldreth. The same ac-
cording to Worcester: Creole n. IT.
Creole; Sp. Criollo; FIR. Creole) A
native of Spanish America or the
West Indies, born OF European pa
rents or descended from European
ancestors, as distinguished from a
resident inhabitant horn in Europe,
as we'll from the offspring of mixed
blood, as the Mulatto, born of ne
gro mother, and the Mestizo, born Of
an Indian mother. N.B-"The
Spanish and Portuguese apply the
term to the blacks born In their coll
onies, never to whites" N.B-The
word creole means a native OF a
West Indian colony, whether he be
black, white. or OF the colored pop
