N*gger is very offensive.
Black teens/ young men use it between themselves, but it's verboten in other situations.

I don't use the term Eskimo, preferring Inuit.
If I explain to people that it not considered polite they get a bit huffy and start muttering about "PC gone mad" under their breaths. But why use a word if you know it causes offence?

(Oh, ditto Jap, after it was flagged as rude here on the Cellar).
