Any word can be used in a offensive way if your intention is there. Let's use human body in this case, since we're talking about knee. Is the term bald and short offensive? Use it in an offensive way and you'll offend a lot of people.
But as I said, there is nothing I can do if you refuse to acknowledge it. Feel free to convince yourself it's acceptable. And at the same time, try to convince this man too: https://twitter.com/Evra
Tell that to Patrick Evra. BTW the proofs are all over the comment section. There is no way to convince you if you refuse to see it.
According to you I can call you a xaxt, that's completely fine because it's not the exact same term as xuxt, you assume it's offensive to you, no proof of this whatsoever, outside of your own personal view that it is indeed offensive.
Typical western view in using politics as an excuse for covering up any abuse we do to the east. What about Uighur Muslims in China? What about human rights in NKorea? What about corruption in India?
To expand this whataboutism, what about bombing the Muslims when we don't like them? Did we find those "Mass Destructive Weapon" in Iraq yet? Not trying to excuse them, but what the Chinese do to a state in their country are peanuts in comparison to what we do to the whole middle east. Have you thought about how many muslim have died and how many Muslim families have shattered throughout the war? But that's OK when we do it, because we the almighty do it in the name of freedom.
Racist is racist, a word or a pun can be a joke to a culture but can also be insult to another. Recently United's Cavani just used the word Nxxxxto to compliment his mate. For Spanish people it's absolutely nothing, it actually mean sweetheart, but in UK, it's a big no no. Suarez was banned for 10 games for using it against Evra. But now we're saying the Chinese shouldn't be offended by a term (knee) we think it's not offensive (Even though the actual context is super offensive). Double standard much?

Stop defending racism.
