Heres a good/stupid multilingual joke: Did you know shrimp have special vitamins? Vitamin AB (ebi).

no one would think of sankokujin as a joke. and very few pl would actually use the word, at least not intelligent ppl. but then again we do have out beloved soft-spoken mayor ishihara who have used it on some occasions, which sort of proves my point with only intelligent ppl.
stay away from negative words if u r not exactly sure of the meaning, that's my advice.
