From Wikipedia
The "tragic mulatto" is a fictional character trope that frequently appeared in American literature during the 19th and 20th centuries, beginning in 1837. The tragic mulatto is a mixed-race person of African American and white ancestry who experiences social marginalization due to their racial identity. These characters are normally portrayed as being unable to fully "belong" to either race. Common themes in American literature surrounding the trope include identity conflict, passing, and sexual exploitation. These works were often used to critique the social and moral consequences of slavery.
