Curious why you think it's a slur? Hard to find much information, but it seems as though the consensus is that it is not a slur. It is the "preferred spelling of the Arabber Preservation Society, created in 1994 for the support of arabbing, “an African-American folk tradition,”"

Looks like you do this kind of thing a lot, whether as a joke or seriously. Can't honestly tell if trolling or not, but would genuinely like to see a source on why you think it's a slur.
