A racial epithet is a description of racially defined superficial difference usually used in some degree of mockery.
The problem with taking a shared history of repression out of the equation is that in almost every case we could propose there does exist a shared history of repression in racial interactions which adds an extra layer of political inference to comments of that nature....

There is no defined history of systemic oppression.
A racial epithet would in such an environment have a totally different meaning to that society to that we are familiar with.
Indeed in the future or even in the far distant past of our own species they may have also a totally different meaning.
Well said.
I wish I had said it. But I was just taking a piss.
