regardless of your motivation for the analogy, it is invalid. there is no possible way to conflate the use of a perfectly legitimate, non-derogatory, inoffensive word (liseuse) with a racial slur. there does seem to be a lot more to the reactions to liseuse than just a preference for a different word however and frankly i really have to wonder about a few people.
