Is "Donkey" the New N-word?

It sounds like it is in this report from Britain:

"An officer at Lindholme immigration removal centre near Doncaster has been sacked over allegations of racism.
He regularly referred to North African detainees as "donkeys" and made animal sounds, a report by the Home Office's Border & Immigration Agency says.

"Donkey" just means "stupid" or "stubborn", as far as I know.
