You need to take a break and really ruminate on the differences between blasphemic phrases associated with a historically privileged group within a tolerant, secular society to racial epithets towards a historically disadvantaged and marginalized group of people still experiencing systemic discrimination in said society.

That's fairly succinct and super simplified, but it's a good place to start.
