My geography teacher (Mr Harris you were a melon) used to call all the boys "son" when he was annoyed with them. At the time I assumed it was because he was an older male addressing a schoolboy. Looking back it might be because he only achieved half of his Teaching Degree.
I had a PE teacher called Mr Harris. I remember he once suggested that a classmate of mine was good at hockey because of his "heritage".

He then said "Wait a minute", and asked my classmate "Are you from India or Pakistan?".

Classmate responded "I am from Sweden, sir".

Looking back on this, I am pretty sure this might nowadays be described as "not ok".
