I'm not surprised about the disclaimer because it is a word which many find very offensive, so if you don't know about the film, events or the people depicted, it's possible to cause shock and discomfort with its use, particularly in a scene when people are jumping around shouting it in celebration.
I like this quote I found on a Dam Busters
blog from Steven Baxter: ‘I think there was a time when it was acceptable to use words like Paki or nigger or sambo, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t offensive, or hurtful, or wrong.’
If a society is to evolved and embrace difference, whether it's gender, ethnicity, sexuality, disability or whatever, I don't see why people shouldn't, if it is possible, recognise the impact of language and try to avoid causing offence.
