You are right, IF you know the person, then the term can be endearing. If you don’t know them then it is considered demeaning.
By the way, I wonder if you have noticed that people who like to insult and then call the insulted person “sensitive” are similar to those who say “they have no sense of humor”. The very same people seem to take offense when you turn the situation on them.
