Amanda Haste PhD, DipTrans(IoLET), MCIL, CL asked this question:

Language pair:	French > English
Subject:	Sciences / Non-fiction books
Level of diffculty:	Easy / medium
Word or term in question:	les derniers rejetons
Context:	De pipiltin mexica, ils étaient devenus les derniers rejetons d’une lignée guerrière. I've found various definitions of 'rejetons', including 'misfits' and 'offspring'. Hardly the same thing! NB The pipiltin mexica were a noble class.

It is true that it sometimes has a pejorative sense, but not here IMO.
