I noticed the other day that Apple has added some weird censorship terms to their swipe keyboard. They used to just censor “swear words” like “fuck”, but they seem to have added some additional phrases that I can’t come up with a charitable explanation for. For example, of the phrases “black man”, “black woman”, “white man”, “white woman”, you can only type “black man” on the swipe keyboard. If you try to swipe type one of the others, it will always change one of the two words to something else.

Wow I just tested that and you're right. That's a weirdly specific bug.

Is this something do to with typing two words as though they were one word? If you swipe out the word 'black', and then swipe out the word 'woman', does that work?

Can confirm. Just tested on iOS 13.4.1. So weird.
