ok I probably talked about this with someone else before then, yes but I don't agree with you still. It isn't really a slur when it is meant as the acronym Race inpired car enchantment or something like that what I am saying is that people aren't using the slur, they're using the acronym(even if the word used to mean somethşng different) and the intent very much does matter because they aren't discriminating against anyone but using a word - albeit with a dubious origin -, that means something radically different now. Language isn't static.
That acronym was made up way later, and making up some acronym for an existing word it doesn't magically make it ok or wipe out what it already meant. Sure language isn't static but it still means that thing.
I can make the n word into an acronym, it doesn't make it not racist.
Backronym. It was a racist term in the car community for decades before somebody came up with that in an attempt to whitewash it.
Citation needed, because every single utterance of "redskins" was racist af, even if the majority of the team's fans never had a racist thought in their heads about native americans.
