I'd imagine the word sounds derogatory to the author as the term half-caste in the UK has the same meaning and has come to be viewed by some (or many, I'm not certain) as a derogatory word.

= 1

He, and his company, have done research into the field of SVOs to compliment megatexture.

I don't know enough to say if it's the same approach, but it's certainly the same field, so you'd expect him to know a fair bit about it.
