This is true. The entire point JKR is making IMO, is that mudblood is 
intended as an epithet, just as the *n* word is in English. It could 
in cases of extreme vexation be used against a pureblood such as 
Arthur Weasley by any of the Malfoys--although that falls into the 
category of *mudblood lover*.
