So I did some more research on the Black Dutch and it turns out that it is a term that was used by many immigrants. the black Dutch were people of European descent who had dark-complexion but it was also used by Native Americans or people that were mixed with three or more races so that they can hide what they were because they were not allowed to own or purchase any land.

Darn racial discrimination!

well Oak that is how it was in America at the time and till this day the Natives have a hard time.
