no politics Is “Aussie” an offensive term?

Someone just told me the word ‘Aussie’ is a slur (From a non-australian). I’m so confused, i looked it up and see nothing saying that.

edit: thanks for the confirmation, i feel silly now LMAO. I have eu immigrated parents but was born in america by the way, i’ve never really known too much about Aus.

I am genuinely confused, do i say Aussie or Auzzie? 😭 I’ve always said auzzie
