Am I in the Wrong?

So for the first time ever in my league history, I have received a punishment for what I wrote in chat. Instead of a normal chat restriction, I received a 14 week suspension. The problem is that the situation is complete bull and I feel as though I shouldn't have been punished in the first place.

Reason for Suspension: Game 3094771806:

Pre Game Lobby:

In Game: IrvenM: [ching_chong] [All]IrvenM: get assed

Post Game Lobby:

Simply speaking I was suspended for saying [ching_chong] twice. Someone in my premade (4 man including me) made a joke using "[ching_chong]" and I was continuing the said joke. Apparently, the Yorick in that game took offense to it (despite not saying anything), and I'm under the suspicion that he reported me for a different reason entirely. I did not abuse, harass or say anything offensive (nor did I intend to), and I also wasn't angry, tilted, or mad at him/my teammates. I can say for certain that players can say 40000x worse than what I said and not even get chat restricted for it. To me, this feels unfair and completely stupid. WHY IN THE NAME OF GOD DID I GET SUSPENDED FOR THIS, AND NOT A CHAT RESTRICTION?? I've made a ticket regarding this situation and they've for whatever reason stuck with a suspension.

The "said joke" is a pretty blatantly racist insult at the expense of the Chinese language (and anyone of Chinese origin/heritage). As such it's a zero-tolerance offense, and this is the expected punishment for a zero-tolerance offense.

Yeah, that is one of their zero tolerance words, I assume the homophobic f word my guess, sorry, heavily against their rules.

That word is a trigger word for the system and it issues bans regardless of context if you say it twice. You fucked up hard

Can you post the full unedited chat log?

Ah, casual racism and a total lack of self-awareness.

Morally, its a toss up. Opinions will differ of course and no one has moral authority over you. Under the rules of this game however, yes you broke the rules, and therefore "deserve" a punishment. Thats just how it works. Break rules, get punished. Racism (%%%%%%%%%%% is an old old racist thing) gets escalated punishments.
