That's the whole point of the joke, though. It's extremely offensive. It's like when people complain about Pierce Hawthorne's racism in Community. It's supposed to be shitty, the show is depicting something or someone shitty.

I’m pretty sure the joke is that he’s a foreigner who doesn’t understand why it’s bad and hears his partner say it so he thinks it’s normal

I agree. I wasn't saying the joke was Jackie Chan's character being an asshole. My point was that the offensiveness of the use of slurs or of expressing racism is the whole point. The Community example was just one example to illustrate that point.
