I think slurs are way more offensive than swear words.
Swear words are “offensive” arbitrarily. Some people don’t like “Fuck” because it is a more crude way to say “have sex with”.
Slurs are offensive by design. Their only purpose is to denigrate people based on their immutable personal characteristics (race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.)
