If, as some dictionaries suggest, Caste comes from he Latin Castus meaning pure, then I can see how half-caste could be deemed offensive. Just because it has been used to mean mixed race for some time and sometime in an inoffensive way, doesn't mean it is essentially inoffensive or acceptable today.
