Of course they have a right to say they find it offensive, and reasonable people should take that in to account (esp. for terms directly used to describe the group that had historically been used as a slur). But something can be a slur if unrecognized by the target group, and it can be something other than a slur even if someone thinks it is and that they are being targeted.
