Although people familiar with the term know it's not meant to be a racial slur, to those who are not, it can be construed as such. Therefore, to avoid users being potentially insulted by the term, we prefer people don't use it in the public chat, regardless of whether it's typed in chat or contained within a link. However, if you want to use it in a private conversation with another user, then that's fine (so long as you know they won't be offended by it).
