It doesn't matter how you use the word, you can't change it's meaning and take it back unless you're a part of that culture that the word degrades.
YOU may think it's perfectly ok to use those words in a "playful" manner, but in reality you're being racist.
If black people want to take back the N word, they can, because it affected them
If gay people want to take back f*ggot/d*ke, they can, because it affected them.
If asians want to take back the ch*nk, the can, because it affected them.
but you can't change the meaning of a word to be fun and playful when it has all that negative weight on it. That's up to that specific group of people.
