Redbone (ethnicity)

Redbone is a term historically used in much of the southern United States to denote a multiracial individual or culture. Among African Americans the term has been slang for fairer-skinned Black people, often for women specifically or for Black people with red undertones. In Louisiana, it also refers to a specific, geographically and ethnically distinct group.
