Is the R-slur the same concept as the N-word?

So I've been thinking, Is the R-slur on the same level as the N-word. Of course I don't think the R-slur is nearly on the same level as the N-word because of the history behind both words. but is it the same concept? The R-slur is a derogatory term used to discriminate against a specific type of group, but isn't that the same definition for the N-word. It might seem insensitive to the black community but I don't mean any harm. But I feel like the R-slur is more normalized which is not a good thing obviously, but doesn't that make it less of a bad word. If you know more or have an opinion on this please tell me I would love to hear it and become more aware on this topic.

Also I'm really sorry for posting this here I just didn't know where else to post this.
