I would guess accusations like this are much more common in a hyper-politically correct environment like NYC, but I have to think that most people would be hard-pressed to find an ethnic slur in the situation as you described it.

My verdict: A horrible attempt at using a pun for humor goes awry.

4_2 - in my experience living in NYC and LA, the Jews are quite chill and usually don't take offense at stupid stuff like this.

Niggardly is a perfectly cromulent word.

Vince McMahon used it while testifying in the steroid trial, iirc.

related to the american's are dumb thread in BBV:

Economist magazine, 1995
In 1995, years before the incidents in Washington, Wilmington and Madison, The Economist magazine used the word "niggardly" in an article about the impact of computers and productivity: "During the 1980s, when service industries consumed about 85% of the $1 trillion invested in I.T. in the United States, productivity growth averaged a niggardly 0.8% a year." The magazine later pointed out with amusement that it received a letter from a reader in Boston who thought the word "niggardly" inappropriate. Another letter writer, this one from New York City, had objected to the magazine's use of "spicing" in an article about second-generation Hispanics ("spicing their language with a little Spanish is the easiest way of being cool"). The word "spicing" was hyphenated at the end of a line, perhaps adding to the confusion. [b]"Why do we get such letters only from America?" the British magazine commented.[9]

duck,

If you're going to make it as an ACLU lawyer, you'll have to learn to side with these idiots.

la,

Wow, I am surprised that you call this borderline. Golddigger is most definitely not an ethnic slur at all.
