It was originally the name referring to people with mixed European and black African descent, basically like Mulatto was used in Latin America. Of the Squad members, only Ayanna Pressley qualifies since she is an American black and most are mixed with whites from the slavery era. Omar is a black from Africa so she doesn't qualify and Tlaib is an Arab who claims to be fakestinian, which also doesn't qualify. Ocasio-Cortez would qualify if she can trace any black in her blood since the term was originally used for mixed peoples the Caribbeans.
