Perhaps it is because those specific words are especially offensive to specific groups. To think they aren't only minimizes or invalidates the reason why those words are offensive.
In this country, there is a vast amount of ethnicities - people from all different backgrounds. Truly we are the Great American Melting Pot. Certain words are used to negatively single out specific groups with the intent to insult or cause harm. So yeah, those words are going to be offensive.
And the more you single them out, the more insulting and offensive the words become.
