octomaroon = a maroon eight times over, a maroon being a stupid person.

octoroon = a person one eighth black and seven eights white (see Plessy v. Ferguson for a famous example).

But I like halfrican best. You can understand it instantly even if you've never seen it before. It also hints at the artificial nature of Zero's blackness. So fake that it caused a new word to be coined!
