Back in the early 90's I knew a Jamacian woman who referred to her niece as half-caste (her sister was married to a [white] Englishman). I'd never heard anyone use that phrase & I assumed at the time it was a slip of the tongue or a bit of very old cultural indoctrination as she'd spent half her life in Jamacia, the rest in England. My acquaintance was married to a (white) Australian & they had a child few years later, and moved overseas sometime later.
