If you use a racial slur, you will be banned.
You did, you were banned.
I presume you are referring to General Rule 14:
"No racism, sexism, discrimination or hate speech, also not in IC chats."
If so, you are being selective in your use of facts that you ultimately used to carry out this ban. According to the Wikipedia source, racism is the act of indirect/direct action to single out, discriminate or prejudice certain people based on certain characteristics or to publicly display hatrid/prejudice towards a certain person based on said characteristics. . No attempt of this was made, again; light, non-offensive humour exchanged between two friends. Furthermore, sexism and discrimination were clearly not present, so I can only presume you are referring to 'Hate Speech'. Hate Speech is the act of using offensive, hateful terms (whether racial, sectarian or sexist) to degrade, slander or berate a person on certain characteristics. This would be direct action towards said person or others to lure them into a hateful state of mind, not a satirical remark made between two friends without any offence or anti-ethnic motive intended.
I agree 100% with your anti-racism rule.
However, no racism, discrimination, sexism or hate speech was present in the situation. If you strongly disagree with me and believe there was intent for offence, discrimination or attempts to gather hate towards a race/characteristic, please do enlighten me.
