Black Dutch has a number of definitions from everything Ive read.
It can mean someone of Indian/European ancestry,
It can mean someone of German/Spanish/Italian ancestry...
Ive also seen it refer to folks of Native American/African American/European ancestry.
In my own family, back many many generations ago, during the time of the Indian Removal Act, my ancestors were told to tell folks they were "Black Dutch" to cover their indian heritage.Their mother was native american the father european :)
The same sort of thing has occured with the Irish...Only in that case its "Black Irish"
