context is important for certain slang terms, for others it's not.
Here's a test. Go up to a black person on the street you don't know and say 'whats up my *****', tell me what happens.

Next, go to a japanese person and tell them 'that nip slip on <insert celebrity name here> was hawt yo', tell me what happens for that one.

Go to a chinese person and say 'There is a chink in my armor. It hath been pierced by an arrow', let me know on that one as well.
