It is the "boy" part that could be interpreted as a slur. You really should NOT use the word "boy" in reference to any black male. Even if they are a child. And even if it is preceeded with "buddy." Just don't do it. Unless you are black, too. Then you can do it.
But you can call white boys white boys all you want. That is not considered offensive.
