You cannot use derogatory racial terms in conversation with coworkers without sounding offensive. You should be aware of the impact that your words can have and avoid such terminology altogether. Even if used in a "lighthearted" manner, such language has the potential to create an unsafe and unwelcoming environment for colleagues of color. Furthermore, using racist language reinforces systems of inequality and perpetuates harmful stereotypes which are never acceptable at the workplace.

You should be aware that using derogatory racial terms in conversations with coworkers can be highly offensive and potentially create a hostile work environment. Additionally, some terms may not always be obvious or known by all persons. If you must use these terms, be aware of the context and ensure that all parties understand that you are using the term in an ironic or playful manner, rather than for any racist or hateful purpose.
