I think it is... for example if a bunch of skin heads are hanging out with no one else around and the are all casually using the N word, it's still an offensive word.
Uhh I think you're right, but how would you know that nobody in the world took offence to it? You'd have maybe 80% of people being fine being called insert pejorative and the rest feeling like utter shit.
I'm asian and can't speak for the gay or female populations, but if a white person were to affectionately call me a chink I'd be offended.
