slur is the deliberate mispronunciation of a word to convey a different meaning. Epithet is A term used to characterize a person or thing, or A term used as a descriptive substitute for the name or title of a person, such as The Great Emancipator for Abraham Lincoln. Both are usually, but not necessarily offensive.
