Unfortunately I don't think it's quite that simple. Occasionally, a bigoted term gets over used in society to the point where it almost loses it's bigoted meaning and becomes its own descriptive word that isn't really designed to be all that bigoted to begin with.
You saw it a lot in the 90's where people would use words like queer, gay or fag and not really intend them to harmful or sexually centered. The words just became almost having a second meaning amongst a lot of people who have no ill will or bigoted feelings towards the gay community it just became part of the public vernacular. Now it can debated what kind of harm that did, but growing up in high school I know of plenty of people that would use words like that and a lot of them I would have never and still don't actually consider them bigots.
