WRONG. It's annoying from either side of the color spectrum. Whoever says it to use as a way to offend really needs to step up their vocab game and whoever gets offended by it is a pussy.

If a person of your own group uses disparaging words in context as a form of self-mockery, this does not have the same effect as when someone of another group  uses the same words.

As an example a Frenchman calling a German "sale boshe" during the war does not have by any means the same effect as 2 germans using this term among themselves for fun.

Any person of some modicum of intelligence would have figured this out and not need ask the question again and again.
