In the English-speaking world, many terms for people of various multiracial backgrounds exist, some of which are pejorative or are no longer used. "Mulato", "zambo" and "mestizo" are used in Spanish, "mulato", "caboclo", "cafuzo", "ainoko" (from Japanese) and "mestiço" in Portuguese and "mulâtre" and "métis" in French for people of multiracial descent. These terms are also in certain contexts used in the English-speaking world. In Canada, the Métis are a recognized ethnic group of mixed European and First Nation descent, who have status in the law similar to that of First Nations.
