There’s a difference between using a racial epithet against someone and mentioning said racial epithet. The same thing happened to John Schnatter. Apparently, particularly if you are white, you can say racial epithets even in passing now.

I’ve decided Hershey bars are racist. We should demand they make them grey so as not to offend

This isn't new, but it's continually been getting worse. After the "niggardly" episode, I told my kids, then in middle school and studying world geography, to be careful to spell the African country of Niger correctly or expect a fuss to be made of it.
