13/50 is a slang term that refers to someone who is a mix of African American and Caucasian.

The term 13/50 is derived from African American history, specifically the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution and the statistic that during the time of slavery, African Americans made up about 50% of the population. It is used to describe individuals who have mixed racial heritage, usually one African American parent and one Caucasian parent.

Example 1: Michael is 13/50 since his father is African American and his mother is Caucasian.

Example 2: Sarah identifies herself as 13/50 because she embraces both her African American and Caucasian roots.
