Caboclo

A caboclo (from Brazilian Portuguese, perhaps ultimately from Tupi kaa'boc, "person having copper-coloured skin") or caboco is a person of mixed Indigenous Brazilian and European (mixed Indigenous Brazilian and black ancestry is "cafuzo") or a culturally assimilated person of full Amerindian descent. In Brazil, a caboclo (for the first use, much more common) is a specific type of mestiço.
