Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I enjoyed this headline from Gawker: Is the New York Post Edited by a Bigoted Drunk Who Fucks Pigs?
See, if Gawker weren't bottom feeding click baiters, this would have some sort of angle. But they are totally okay with having inflammatory and proven false headlines, so all I can hope is that they bruise themselves falling off the not very high horse.
I have Hair to thank for teaching me complicated sexual words and racial epithets when I was about 12.
For me it was porn and politically charged fiction about slavery and the civil rights struggle. And I was younger.
My mother also introduced me to the word "jew" (as opposed to "Jew"), and she was verily soberly using it as a teaching opportunity (we had no idea!) and putting down a 8 point letter and a 4 point letter in the same word. That's like my mother's perfect storm--winning Scrabble and teaching us how horrible humans are.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That song is probably the only place I've ever heard "jigaboo".
Unfortunately it is not, for me. I grew up with it as standard casual polite conversation, from people I loved. Also, being "Gyped" out of things, and "Jewing" somebody down, and coons and we always had Brazil nuts at Christmas, only that's not what they were called.
My family eventually learned this was not polite public conversation, but they never understood why. It wasn't at all malicious; that really didn't make it any better.

Oh, Beverly. One day I will convince my father not to use a certain phrase about rigging things, but it hasn't happened yet.
