no slurs or it uses antiquated slurs we have forgotten about? or slurs we excuse because were common back them?
I counted 160 "moro" in Don Quixote.
"Moro" is still commonly used and not considered a slur. It can be used incorrectly to refer to any muslin person but is not offensive in itself.
Just because it’s not considered offensive by white Spaniards does not mean it’s not offensive

So it's more of an example of a normal term used to describe a group that becomes disliked and turns into a slur. Like "American" for example - neutral term that slowly becomes a slur.
it 100% is a slur, only people who disagree are the ones using them
