Literally every other "reclaiming" or "rebranding" of words goes forth to encourage their use in the general population. "Man", as a pronoun, used by Jamaicans was an active attempt to offset the semi-slur "boy". "Yeah, man." it's their word, you use it, it's all cool.
For something a bit closer phonetically, "Nip" is a slur for the Japanese. Or Nippon-ji, as they would say in their own language. It's literally a shortened version. Give that hard "g" and it's perfectly fine to say, in fact, it's the standard. Word reclaimed.
People gotta stop being racist. A word is either allowed, or not allowed. It can be a naughty word like "fuck" which you shouldn't be saying every other word, but it's still allowed, or not allowed, simply based on social standing, not based on sex or race, like a sexist racist would form language.
