Is your use of the term “mulatto” intended to be a racist derogatory remark?

No, nigger would be racist and derogatory ... mulatto is a proper descriptive word, simplifying (and less derogatory than) half-breed.

More specifically;

The word ‘mulatto’ is derived from the Arabic muwallad, which originally referred to persons who were not ‘genuine’ Arabs, especially individuals born of black-white ‘misalliances’.
