As applied to people, "Creole" refers to humans of mixed ancestry, generally colonial and native. That word, and its foreign language cognates, are used differently in different countries, and can be merely descriptive or highly pejorative. Louisiana Creoles, for example, refers to Americans from the state of Louisiana of French and sometimes Spanish descent, and is not usually taken to be offensive.
