Racism in auto complete ??

[summerski]

(Edit: I have noticed it is when I'm typing the specific phrase 'up,' with a comma, but nothing when just 'up'.)

 A couple of days ago I was texting my best friend on WhatsApp about something that happened that day when my phone (Samsung A10) recommended me the n-word in the auto complete/auto correct section. Let me state that I have never EVER typed this word or any variations of it. I am white and would never type or say it for any reason. I didn't get a screenshot of this time. 
 

 Today the same thing happened but I managed to get a screenshot of it. Again, I have never typed this word so I have no idea why it or any version would be in my auto complete. There were 3 versions, the full word, one without the final letter and the 3 letter version (cropped screenshot attached, which was part of a small story I was writing.) 

 

 Anyone able to tell me why or how this happened? Because no one else seems to have had this issue.

Just want to point out that this is still a problem. I typed "Parental" and the two suggestions that it automatically swapped to with the default keyboard (IN NATURALLY OCCURING ORDER)  were the singular and plural form of a full blown, utterly blatant and unused for anything else since Ramen stopped coming in flavors of that name word for people from asia.

This happened without me noticing on twitch. This is unacceptable and gets your customers in trouble on 99.99% of the typical places we go on the internet.

Pointing out that this occurs if I erase saved predictions before using the keyboard. Seemingly at 2x the standard rate compared to if I don't erase saved predictions and just keep the typos that end up becoming recognized more than real words.

Edit: on thought this may be an oversight, in light of the fact the ramen flavor used to be called that. The plural thing might just be a bug in the software or language understanding of the person who compiled the default autocorrect list comparing plurals with other similar sounding words. This means it could be a totally unrelated issue to the one the OP had.

I have this exact same problem, type very quickly and thought I was imagining it but when I type I also get the n word as a suggestion, as a white person got very worried as I never type that and wouldn't want to accidentally sent that to someone! Even on here I get it!

Hey all,

Have you ensured your phones are running on the latest software? If you're unsure, head into Settings > Software update > Download and install > If there's an update available, proceed to install this. Alongside this, head into Galaxy Store app > Locate Samsung Keyboard > Update (if an update is available).

perhaps needs further investigation but have not noticed any issue in recent years.   For those affected,ensure you have al the latest  firmware/updates (including Samsung Keyboard) before  reporting back.
