Roblox being racist by filtering the word "black" but not "white" LOL

So, basically, I just wanted to rename a 100% black outfit I made to “black”, but Roblox filters it because it appears to be “racist”. However, I can totally name it “white”. It would be nice if you could fix that, because there’s nothing wrong in the word “black” itself, it’s just a color, not any discrimination c’mon bro :sob:

Proof:

Expected behavior

What I expect to happen is that I can freely name my outfit “black” by not filtering this word.

Actually, these names can be retrieved by certain APIs and displayed publicly in games like Outfit Loaders, hence the need for filtering

ok nevermind then, if thats the case — then sure, i guess. but the guy who uses such api can filter the names before showing them to anyone, or the api can automatically filter the names before sending them instead of inconveniencing everyone trying to save an outfit. im sorry im really trying my hardest not to go on a schizophrenic rant this time but if you want to protect children from swear words others are saying, i think this is unnecessary

Roblox keeps intermittently filtering my username.

People have mentioned that when they say “master3395” it gets filtered.
However, if they say “Master3395” it doesn’t.

Sometimes, even just “master” or “Master” gets filtered. It’s frustrating.

If my username was allowed in the past, why is it being filtered now, regardless of whether it’s in lowercase or uppercase? If it was fine before, it should still be acceptable.

This does not occur in game chats. This seems ot occur for you in avatar. Have you tried saying “black”?

searching red + anything in the sentence works fine
searching just “red” isnt…
what is with filter just filtering random colors for no reason?

Some notable workarounds I found for outfit names are: super black, [number] black, and pov black.
