That is a completely different scenario. In that case, a black person misconstrued a word that sounds very similar to a word that is a known racist word. He knew what the slur was.

He didn't know that a similar-sounding word wasn't related to the slur.

Has nothing to do with the "n-word" itself.

Physically descriptive nicknames are generally offensive and rude in our country. You don't call a stranger "short stuff" or "big chin" or "darkie" unless you're trying to piss them off. And this one isn't even accurate, various individuals within the various Native tribes can be many different shades. It's literally the exact same thing as calling Jewish people, "the BigNoses", and naming your team that.
