There is sometimes a fine line between acceptable and unacceptable speech. When we find that we have crossed it we should simply acknowledge and apologize, perhaps pleading ignorance, and move on. Exhortations "to get into the 21st century", for example, are insensitive and intolerant. I've heard the term in question used both ways. In it's more innocent usage it still has linguistic ties to the other usage. One doesn't use such words anymore than one would say Mexican or Sambo in certain situations.
