Maybe Curtis is right. Maybe some non-French speakers added the word,
"one" after the word, "melange". They might have heard melange used to
describe the people, so they added this ending to that word even though
it wasn't grammatically and linguistically correct. It would be like
calling a group the black ones, the red ones, the white ones, or the
mixed (melange) ones. just a thought
