In the context of describing a person, yes.
Describing the progress of something (e.g. "The Wehrmacht's advance through the Ardennes in the Winter of 1944 was retarded by the dense forests and fierce Allied resistance around Elsenborne Ridge and Bastogne") shouldn't be, but knee-jerk reactions to it are rapidly pushing it to the land currently occupied by the n-word (among others).
