I call one of my friends a coconut (hispanic on the outside, white on the inside) and I know she isn't offended by it, but I know some people could take it the wrong way. It makes my friend laugh because it reminds her of a Kawaii Not comic of a coconut drink saying "I'm complicated... or maybe just a little fruity!"

Twinkie is also a term for the submissive in a male homosexual relationship and can be offensive in that sense.

I've been called an Otaku plenty of times, and it doesn't bother me much. I know some people don't appreciate the title, though. It has a negative history in Japan where a sting of murders was committed by this guy who had an anime cave in his home. He was given the title "the otaku killer" because of it, and the name has been stained ever since. Here in the states, though, it has a similar air as the term "Trekkie" only directed towards anime instead of Star Trek.
