[Yokuutsu]

No I meant the part about the word being used as a word, like Canadian or any other nationality, versus it being used with a tone of voice that makes it clear that you mean it as an insult. Of course, I think it matters more whether the people the word describes thinks it is insulting or not. If they just see it as a description instead of insulting, I see no problem. Like I'm not a gypsy/Romani/etc...so I have no real say on whether it is offensive or not. Now a Romani comes up and say this word is offensive to me, then it is.
