Is there something wrong with bi-racial?
Sounds great to me.
Half caste used to imply only half of something and therefore inferior.
Mixed is the common phrase now but it still for me implies a bit of this a bit of that.
Bi implies two. Two is double. Double is more. More is positive. Bi gives you the option two switch to which you fancy at that time. Bi lingual. I can speak Welsh. I can speak English. Doesn't make my English half. It's as full as I like it to be.
Hate half caste...always pissed me off even as a kid. Mixed race is fine but hate bi racial.
Just my opinion but many mixed race people come from more than 2 cultures/races. My family come from Trinindad and there are Afro Caribbean, Chinese, Asian and White in my background and fhis is not unusual. So it would be inaccurate so we'd start having
bi-racial and tri- racial etc. But the reason I hate it is cos it simply sounds poncey and something that Owen Jones or Laurie Penny would call me!
Just my opinion though
