acronym Race inpired car enchantment or something like that

Backronym. It was a racist term in the car community for decades before somebody came up with that in an attempt to whitewash it.

and the intent very much does matter

Citation needed, because every single utterance of "redskins" was racist af, even if the majority of the team's fans never had a racist thought in their heads about native americans.
