As far as I know, Mowgli isn't actually used as a racial slur. But I can see where it almost sounds one, as if it refers to "savage" people or something. So, hypothetically, a Bronx Mowgli would be a way to refer to someone who lives in an urban place but racist people still consider "savage" because he's perhaps darker skinned.

But like I said, this is all kind of moot because I don't think it really IS a slur. It just sounds like it could be one. Hope that makes sense (and really, that's just what popped into my head; others might feel differently).
