No, you just use a standard technique like word2vec.
Basically words are considered similar (and embedded to nearby locations in a high dimensional space) if they are likely to be used in the same context.
And because slurs are used to indicate that you don’t like someone, they tend to occur in the same kind of context.
So they’re all very similar. This is actual natural language processing being used, but it’s a shit post and the graphics aren’t very clear.
