I think those are all appropriate for the movies they're in. You can argue whether a white director should do that.
In Django sure but I would not say so for Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction. Hell, Samuel L Jackson specifically told him not to say it in Pulp Fiction. It does not make sense for the scene either. A suburban white dude is going to say it multiple times to a black assassin who just got done killing people? His character is not supposed to be a bumbling moron.
I think it shows his character has power in the situation, is familiar with Jackson's character and demands his respect. But that's subjective.
