One example of this I can think of is a show from the late 90's which used the word "spaz" very liberally, which was already iffy at the time but not fully demonized. Using it nowadays could be considered a major point of contention towards your image. Words like Gypsy and Retard are more recent inclusions in this field.

This happens a lot with viral-bait accounts. One of the top posts on the UFO board just got caught sockpuppeting this week.

This reminds me of a friend who was a steam moderator, and they had an alternate account on twitter pretending to be mexican. The amount of times they got people thinking they found their real name was larger than "juan".
