It's an acronym (Time and Relative Dimension in Space), it's a legacy term being 50 years old, and it's clearly completely unrelated to the problematic term that it happens to sound like.

OP

Thanks. I didn't realize it was an acronym. I get the reasoning, but I'm still surprised it's given a pass, what with people not always being logical about stuff like that.

In part because it's been around a lot longer than the slang it sounds like.

I don't think Who was very well known in America until New Who. There is a very different slur that's used instead in the UK. So I think it has more to do with where the show originated than when.

NAYRT - Okay, I've Googled, and I just keep coming up with Dr Who stuff (go figure). What IS this problematic "tardis" word that is NOT related to Dr Who?

"Tard" is frequently used as am insulting derogatory slang abbreviation for "retard", which is itself commonly regarded as a derogatory term.

I'm assuming "tard", which is short for "retard".
