Dark humor is any kind of humor that is niche due to how offensive or taboo it can be. Very specifically, it makes light of exceedingly tragic situations and turns it from tragedy to absurdity.

I do know what dark humor is, but I would not say a single word slur goes along with even the definition you give. The n word is not necessarily tragic nor a situation, it's just a racist remark. I wouldn't call any sort of racial slur "dark humor" as they aren't exactly jokes, they're just ignorance in word form.
