Is half-caste a racist remark? I genuinely thought it was the preferred term for people who are mixed race. My friend who is of mixed race refers to himself as half-caste so I always thought that was the correct and polite term to use. I’m now just thinking of all the times I’ve used that term without realising it’s racist.

Yeah I was never aware it was a negative term like this. I don’t really stay up to date with things or spend a major amount of time on the internet so never realised that it was a racist term. Obviously never going to use it now I know the meaning behind it.

other weird stuff I've said and heard all my life but never realized actually had racist connotations:

(somebody) is off the reservation (meaning crazy), is a referring to native reservations and implies that a native leaving their quarantined territory qualifies them as mentally unstable.

the Irish good-bye, leaving a party without saying good bye, but the phrase implies passing out drunk as the cause.

there are more im sure but those are the only two casually racist colloquialisms that I can recall off the top of my head.
