    Err, no.

    A racial epithet is not automatically derogatory, demeaning or racist.

    It is also the context in which it is used.

    For example if I was referred to jokingly as a 'Sweaty Sock' by someone of English persuasion that would also be a friendly racial epithet.
    Mortals you defy the Gods, I sentence you to travel among unknown stars, until you find the Kingdom of Hades, your bodies will stay as lifeless as stone.

    Scots ('Jock/Sock') aren't a race, "Sweaty Sock" isn't a racial epithet.
