The context the word is used is discussing racism. Unless you're racist or doing the same thing that is being criticized I see no reason to be offended.

Facebook struggles in fighting hate speech

The result: Minority groups say they are disproportionately censored when they use the social-media platform to call out racism or start dialogues. In the case of Latour and her family, she was simply repeating what the man who verbally assaulted her children said: “What the f— is up with those f—ing n—-r heads?”

Compounding their pain, Facebook will often go from censoring posts to locking users out of their accounts for 24 hours or more, without explanation – a punishment known among activists as “Facebook jail.”

“In the era of mass incarceration, you come into this digital space – this one space that seems safe – and then you get attacked by the trolls and put in Facebook jail,” said Stacey Patton, a journalism professor at Morgan State University, a historically black university in Baltimore. “It totally contradicts Mr. Zuckerberg’s mission to create a public square.”

Others have started using alternate spellings for “white people,” such as “wypipo,” “Y.P. Pull,” or “yt folkx” to evade being flagged by the platform activists have nicknamed “Racebook.”

It originated as a way for people to discuss racism without constantly being flagged.
