where Sonny says "niggers are having a good time with our policy banks up in Harlem, drivin’ them big new Cadillacs", right before shutting up Carlo by saying "We don't discuss business at the table."
it's also in GFII when Frank Pentangeli asks Michael for permission to kill the Rosato brothers:
"They recruit spics, they recruit niggers. And they do violence in their Grandmother's neighborhoods. And everything with them is whores -- whores! La vegana -- junk, dope! And they leave the gambling for last. Now I want to run my family without you on my back, and I want those Rosato brothers dead!"
so yeah Coppola doesn't throw it around as much as Scorcese, but he did use it a few times.
