Not just a racial context, but the implication that an individual is immature. Addressed to an adult, it is mildly deragatory. There is also a lot of racial baggage attached to it.
While I do agree that PC can go too far, I also do not appreciate people trying to pretend that slavery and segregation did not exist, or, that enough time has passed that the problem of racial inequality has been solved. It's still a valid issue. Sticking your head in the sand won't make it go away.
