Is it really wrong to use that word?

Apparently the word has an unfortunate etymology:
‘”MULATTO” IS A DON’T
Mulatto arguably has the ugliest roots of the antiquated terms on this list. Historically used to describe the child of a black person and a white person, the term reportedly originates from the Spanish word “mulato,” which, in turn, originates from the word “mula,” or mule—the offspring of a horse and a donkey. Clearly, this term is offensive, as it compares the union of human beings to that of animals.’

I never knew that word was bad, especially in the 90s.
