Disappointing to see him use “mulato,” which came from the word mula, or mule, the offspring of a horse and a donkey—clearly an offensive and outdated term for a mixed-race person. It’s sure not a slur of the magnitude of the n-word, but it would be good for it to disappear from ordinary use.

I respectfully disagree. In some Latin American countries, the term mulato is used descriptively without negative connotations, especially in historical or academic contexts. In places like the Dominican Republic, Brazil, or Cuba, where mixed-race identities are prevalent and often celebrated, the term is not viewed as offensive. Just like compulsive tipping, finding anything and everything to be offended by is more prominent in the US.

I feel the same way about the word "queer", originating from "strange" or "not right" and clearly offensive.  Obviously this provider has taken ownership of the word and is proud of his heritage, similar to how some queers have taken ownership of the word and now proudly use it despite it still being highly offensive to many.  Exclamation point!

I was going to provide a similar response. He’s definitely Latino. Context matters!!

There have been a few reports and messages sent to me on this thread. I want to make my stance on this clear. This site does not support or promote hate or racism in any way.  With that being said, we do not control the name of the provider. In this case, this is done by RentMasseur. 

We cannot force the provider to change names and not allowing members to discuss a provider simply because of the username could cause other problems. For example there are several providers who want me to remove posts about them simply because they don’t like what is being said about them here. If we had a policy around acceptable provider usernames, all the provider would have to do is change a name to something not allowed to try and bypass the members here being able to discuss that provider. 

So if you have a problem with a provider’s username, please take it to that platform’s website. We cannot do anything to change it and I’m not about to start prohibiting discussion of specific usernames that might be considered offensive. 

Now… with that said, let’s return the discussion to the provider himself and not the acceptability of his username. 

Thank you for your understanding.

He sent me a photo of his massage studio, looks very clean and tidy.  I hope to give him a spin when I get back to Baltimore.  Anyone else seen him in the meanwhile?

Bumping to see if anyone has had first-hand experience.  If not, I’ll take one for the team 😊 

Did you ever have a session with him???

The provider is clearly not from the US, English is probably not his first language and takes pride in his heritage. Let’s give him a break.

Latin American countries have a long (and shameful) habit of denying their African roots, feeling that it lessens them in the (racist) eyes of the world.  Hence, they use "mulatto", "indio", "moreno" to differentiate themselves from "The Negro or Black", letting that designation sit with Americans.  In reality, more slave ships went to the Caribbean and South American than to America, so Africans mixed in with native populations and created a brown/black society, though ethnically they identify as Latin/Hispanic.  "Mulatto" is a term fraught with intimations of slavery and history's degradation of brown skinned people.  I can't see from the avatars on the comments how many opinions are coming from BIPOC members vs. those of Caucasian/White members - the latter should take care in promoting opinions that are based on a lack of knowledge on ethnicity, "race" or colorism.  (As you might conclude from my comments, I am BIPOC)
