With Malaysia experiencing a wave of immigrations from China, the Middle East, India, and southeast Asia, and a wave of different colonial powers (Portuguese, Dutch, English), many other terms have been used for half-castes. Some of these include ''cap-ceng'', ''half-breed'', ''mesticos''. These terms are considered pejorative.<ref>{{cite journal|title=THE PORTUGUESE COMMUNITY AT THE PERIPHERY: A MINORITY REPORT ON THE PORTUGUESE QUEST FOR BUMIPUTERA STATUS|author=Gerard Fernandis|journal=Kajian Malaysia|volume=XXI|number= 1&2|year= 2003}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|title=The White Man's Burden and Brown Humanity: Colonialism and Ethnicity in British Malaya|author=A.J.

Half-castes of Malaya and other European colonies in Asia have been part of non-fiction and fictional works. Brigitte Glaser notes that the half-caste characters in literary works of the 18th through 20th century were predominantly structured with prejudice, as degenerate, low, inferior, deviant or barbaric. Ashcroft in his review considers the literary work structure as consistent with morals and values of colonial era where the European colonial powers considered people from different ethnic groups as unequal by birth in their abilities, character and potential, where laws were enacted that made sexual relations and marriage between ethnic groups as illegal.<ref>{{cite book|title=Racism, Slavery, and Literature (Editor: Wolfgang Zach, Ulrich Pallua)|author=Brigitte Glaser|pages=209–232|isbn=978-3631590454|publisher=Peter Lang GmbH|year=2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=Post-Colonial Studies: The Key Concepts |author=Ashcroft |author2=Griffiths |author3=Tiffin |year=2007 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-0415428552 |edition=2}}</ref>
