Not stranger than many mainstream derogatory terms, if you look at them linguistically. They're often just shortened slang versions of more acceptable terms.

Usage determines whether something is derogatory, not the derivation of the word.

I also doubt that newbie is backformed from n00b. Newbie dates back well before 1337-speak.
