It all boils down to this, if the other person is looking to offend, and you're looking to be offended, then its racist.

I've heard whites call other whites crackers, blacks call other blacks ******s, <insert any other race here> call <insert race here> <insert word thought to be offensive here>, and it's all a joke.

There may be other cases where one person thinks the word has no meaning any more and uses it against a person looking to be offended, I don't know what to do in this situation but to call the offended person ignorant and racist, if it's the first offense, just simply point out that you don't like the context that word is being used in and call it a day, if it comes up again, then I guess you can bitch and moan if it clearly wasn't a mistake.

I dunno, I don't give a flying fuck about colors, nationalities, or anything else that sets people apart on an application.
