Of course not.Here's how the OED defines that particular variation on "slur.": an offensive term used deliberately to show a lack of respect for a particular group of people. Presumably, a racial slur would be one that shows a lack of respect for a particular group of people specifically because they're from a different race.
But what is a racial slur?
It's worth noting that the operational definition of a slur employed by this forum is not that of the OED and differs in significant aspects.
