It may not be a real insult, but it's probably not a good idea to call Japanese people that. Everyone is a muggle, so calling someone a muggle doesn't really mean anything. However, not everyone is Japanese, and depending on where you live, Japanese people do face discrimination. So, it's probably not the greatest idea to call Japanese people something other than "Japanese people".

I agree with this, though I think it's ridiculous (and mildly insulting) to call Elevens a racist insult, if you are unable to call Japanese people... Japanese people... you have a problem.

But even the fictional meaning of 'Eleven' doesn't mean "Japanese people", it means "Japanese people stripped of all national identity and brought low to the point where they're just a number in our system". Are you arguing that, in the context of the show, it isn't a racial slur? Because it totally is.

Now, whether a fictional slur should be considered insulting in the real world is a different discussion. But it's probably not a good idea to use it anyway because of reasons mentioned in the previous comment.
