The best way to use derogatory racial terms in a casual conversation without sounding too offensive is to put an air quotes " around them, as if you were talking about something of a lower value than the person you're speaking with. For example, if someone mentioned wanting to invite their racist uncle to join them for dinner, you could reply with " Oh, my racist uncle? He'll fit right in" with the air quotes conveying that although he may use these words carelessly, he does not share the same views as your uncle.

You should use derogatory racial terms in a casual conversation only if you are certain that the people present in the conversation will find it amusing and not offensive. If you are unsure, it is best to avoid using these terms altogether. Even when used out of context and playfully, these words can be seen as negative reinforcement or even offensive depending on how the individuals in the conversation perceive it. It is best to take extra care before using them jokingly with others as it may unintentionally harm somebody’s feelings.
