It’s actually easier than all this. To answer the question alone, for this circumstance only, it can be replaced in English with any of these words:

if an accent is heavy, it is because the person saying it has a heavy accent. A MEXICAN ACCENT, and anyone repeating it that doesen't belong to that sort of Barrio culture, is portraying what they hear from Mexicans saying it. Or, making fun of Mexicans. Not cool, homie. (Homie switched out for ese).

The use of this word, and whether it is maliciously intended or in good faith, depends on if it is being said one of those ways or not, exactly like how it is in English. if you were to use one of the equivalent words i mentioned above...

However, You still would not say that neutral use of ‘Dude’ while talking to your great aunt Beatrice, right?

And just like in English, these Bro, Dude etc names are slang, and you would never call grandpa “Bro” and demand a high five. It’s rude.

So, “que onda, ese?” (or the equivalent english “What’s up, yo?” ) Are phrases no one would ever use when speaking to grandma, relatives or respected community members, however this usage is OK among peers, it’s just common slang which anyone might find offensive, it just depends on who thinks that way.

I believe its like using the evil “N” word being white, no matter how good of a friend you are to an African American person, you don’t get to use it. ever.

This rule can be applied to anyone who isn’t Mexican trying to use "ese" as slang. *Not cool, Brah.* At best you'd make a fool of yourself, at worst, depending on where you are, you could get in trouble you didn't need to get in to in the first place. Always use common sense.

However you DO get a free pass using "ese" as slang if you are trying to sing along to any Cypress Hill lyrics and you HAVE to sing to "Insane in the Membrane"-
