Well that will just depend on your situation and setting. I've been called a ****er, with malicious intent, maybe 3 or 4 times in my life. I've been called nig/****a/****er by friends, watched movies/listened to music that heavily used the word (both ****er and ****a), and spent a lot of time around people who incorporate it in their daily vocabulary pretty much every day.
There's honestly probably not a single day that goes by that I don't hear the word in some form at least once but I don't get all pissy about it. Like I said, its all about intent, which, let's be honest, is NOT hard to decipher.
...For the record, I don't use the word myself.
