Mauritian Creole people are the people of African and Malagasy origin who live in Mauritius. However, the Creole people today also includes minorities of people that have both African and Malagasy origins with Indian, Chinese, French and/or British backgrounds.

Brought in as slaves to work the plantations of Mauritius (as well as Réunion and Seychelles), the slaves were Malagasy or East-African and were brought mostly from Mozambique, Malawi, Nigeria, Tanzania and Zambia.

The Creoles form along with the Indo-Mauritians the largest ethnic groups in Mauritius. The Creoles are divided into two main groups in Mauritius (which aren't exclusive but were used very often in the past) : Mulattos and Blacks. Among the community, there is a lot of multiracial variances from dark skinned Creoles to near white ones. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.69.180.119 (talk) 16:14, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed Olivia Carey and Xavier Duval pictures as representatives of African-Mauritians, as they are Coloured and would never be considered African in Mauritius. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.168.135.1 (talk) 06:12, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
