Well when I was playing we'd use Icelandic and would be all kinds of things. Definitely something once in a while we wouldn't say in public.
Just to be honest here, you guys don't really have a word like this...
Iceland doesn't really have a history of slavery and racism, so they don't really have a word like it in the language.  English does though. 

The word isn't "vulgar". 
It isn't something you don't say in public.  Words like f*ck, sh*t are in that category. 
This word is in its in category altogether. 
 
But in that video that was clearly something he accidentally blurted out. He even said sorry right after.

This word really baffles me. Some people use it all the time and are fine with it but when a rich youtuber accidentally says it (once!) while focusing on a game he is suddenly racist as fudge
Eh, he kind of did.

There are kind of two words.  Ni**a and Ni**er.  The latter is something that most people would say that no one is allowed to say.  The former is something that is usually a bit more allowed, usually if used by black people.  Some people wouldn't even say then...

I'm not sure how someone can accidentally say something like that. 

Have you ever accidentally said "kill all the Jews"?
