I don't know if you considered this fact, but word filters can't tell if you "mean" something offensively or not. It's simply a coded instruction to block a letter combination regardless of whether it's in a larger word or not. I'm sorry, but we can't teach software how to interpret intentions, nor can we change the rules regarding what's blocked.
