When is a slur not a slur? The use of nigger in ‘Pulp Fiction’

It has been proposed that words like nigger should be eradicated from the English language on the presupposition that the word itself is a slur and its eradication will eliminate the slur against African-Americans. This presumption is demonstrably false and in any case

Single look-ahead unit resolution (SLUR) algorithm is a nondeterministic polynomial time algorithm which for a given input formula in a conjunctive normal form (CNF) either outputs its satisfying assignment or gives up. A CNF formula belongs to the SLUR class if no sequence of nondeterministic choices causes the SLUR algorithm to give up on it.

Words are often assumed to have denotations linking them to concepts, and we use a word with a certain denotation when we want to convey to our interlocutor the concept to which it is linked. Obscene swearwords and offensive slurs reveal the simplistic character of this view.
