As regards the Mulattos the rape of southern black slaves gained in frequency after the original stocks of Irish women died out. Remember in the early plantations the black slaves were expensive and mostly male: breeding them with the Irish women was an economic decision and required more than just a plantation owner to act as stud with African women to keep up numbers.
The whole idea was to keep the gene pool at least partly black, the rape of Irish women by white owners was for pleasure, not profit as white or near white slaves were more difficult to justify as time went on.
