I don't think it's used as a racist term any more. I had togoogle it to make sure i was remembering correctly, 'cause I think it was a 70s thing. I have a vague recollection of it being used recently by the Gene Wolf character in Life on Mars, which was of course set in the 70s. That's the first time I've heard it used in years.
