You weren't suppose to know, now we have to do things so you can't talk
But its not really derogatory per say, but it can be used in a derogatory manner. It softens the blow.
Example, and as a former waiter the server example is best.
Waiter to manager: I've got a whole section of Canadians so I won't be tipping out tonight.
Its not derogatory, but it is racist, as blacks as a whole are known for being very demanding and crappy tippers.
Since we have been PCed out of talking about race like it matters, its just natural that people will adapt and 'invent' new ones.
