Tar Heel is a nickname applied to the U.S. state of North Carolina and its inhabitants. ... One such legend claims it to be a nickname given during the U.S. Civil War, because of the state's importance on the Confederate side, and the fact that the troops "stuck to their ranks like they had tar on their heels".

The phrase they're thinking of is Tar baby, not Tar heel.

Has to do with poor white farmers working in the sandy soil barefoot and getting tar on the bottom of their feet.

I'm extremely offended. Tar is black. That shite ain't right. And a heel is a shite part of the body. I'm going to make a sign.

Of course.
It's 2017.
Everything is offensive or racist
