Because, even after throwing around the slurs people will all miracoulsy be "just kidding" or it was "only a joke." Chats are open to the public. You can't claim context control in an open forum. How you and your friends talk in private is your business. If you cannot control casual bigotry in public then expect consequences.

And I am not sure it is just "one little word," would we be having this discussion over similar words that start in C, P, or N? Also, I disagree that intent matters. Even if someone using slurs is not attempting to be actively bigoted, they are at the very minimum supporting it passively.
