But, does that make the word "Swede" a racial slur?
If I'm not wrong, and NGO's made (or probably would make) such a case
to the legislatures and courts that such a word was a slur &
corrective or punitive results were later issued upon its use, then
yes.
However, if no recognizable outcry had stemmed from use of the word,
then no.

But in the McPeak case, there are no NGOs (these are charitable
organizations) making such a case for the word "jewry." There are no
organizations of any kind making such a case to "legislatures and courts."
The First Amendment precludes "punitive results" for this kind of word
usage.
And to top it off, the complaining organization, a political pressure group
opposed to the Obama campaign, isn't complaining about the word, and
actually uses the word itself!
