No. There are words that you can’t just use.
I see those who have been in Japan for couple of months use this word. They don’t speak Japanese and do not know the context of the word. I’ve asked if they knew it was a slur, and many times they’d say no. https://twitter.com/mistah_x/status/1312224693995233281">https://twitter.com/mistah_x/...

You cannot group the entire “foreigner” in one bracket to say that we are having the same experience. In Japan, a white person would definitely have a different experience than a south Asian person. Who are you to say that it’s okay to use that word amongst e/o?
I am sitting here and telling you, I have been bullied my entire childhood with this word, and it should not be normalized. It’s a slur. There are people being harassed with this word everyday. Most Japanese ppl still use this word. STOP.
