Lets get this straight as not to insult the wrong people.
In standard Italian the word for eggplant is melanzana, a word also used disparagingly to denote a black person, and in Italian-American slang derived from the southern dialects, the disparagement is often abbreviated to "mulie."
Also you don't just call any old black a melanzana. You say this about someone who is physically black on the outside but who acts white. Similar in English to calling those types "oreo cookies". becuase egg plant is dark on outside white on inside.

A mulatto is a person with one white parent and one black parent, or, more generally, a person of mixed black and white ancestry. It derives from Spanish (and likely from Portuguese, also) mulato (small mule, person of mixed race, mulatto; from mulo, mule; from Old Spanish; from Latin mūlus), by analogy with the mule, which is the hybrid offspring of a horse and a donkey.
