That spiral curl look does seem to be associated with mixed folk for sure - so much so both my sisters spent ages getting their hair to look just like that. The fact they had to work at that though even though they're both mixed makes me wonder how common that look is naturally.
Half-caste is something used by older folk here in England so I guess that got taken over to Nigeria by the British. I think the problem with being called half-caste or half-breed is the suggestion in the word that you're only half a person - I know some mixed folk who hate the word mixed too, and biracial, and mulatta - personally I think the last one is the best sounding.
