That's how you sound. Yes. Racist. There's nothing to argue about. I'm not guessing. I'm letting you know. You sound racist. You want to take a guess which group in the US most commonly uses "billy" as a slang term for billion?

And your response to seeing it was "fuck you entirely" and "gross, dude."

Then you want to whip out "obfuscates." Do you really need someone to point out that obfuscates is a word that's going to confuse more people than "billy"? You understood the point, you just decided to ignore it and whine about the slang language used. And since you clearly don't actually mind not using words that everyone everywhere is completely comfortable with, the real problem was seeing black slang.
