Sounds like they used this man as a weapon against his will and then set him up as a scapegoat afterwards.

and yet when it comes to a racial one it "slipped through"

Good on him for not just speaking up, but continuing to speak in solidarity and not let the BBC and BAFA silence him.

They used him to pull the focus away from their Epstein drama/fallout. Classic outrage farming.

I think the best case scenario here is "we knew we could make some news and didn't care much about who it hurt, or how" and the worst case scenario is, as you say, much, much worse

The British media are cruel in a way that I don't think their US counterparts are.

It really feels like they left that shit in to stir up something for the content. Multiple people deserve to go to Hell for this.

I wanted to say something to this effect when it was happening, but I didn't want to sound conspiratorial.

An impressive combining of ableism and racism into one mixture to sell views. Truly disgusting

I kind of think that he made his first statement that wasn't great before he found out that the BBC bleeped everything but that one word, because what he's saying now is so different from the first "sorry if anyone was offended" statement

Wonder how much of this was some marketing suit hoping to generate a buzz over a potential controversy to drive engagement. Such a craven, soulless move 😮‍💨

I hope everyone involved makes life hell for the BBC and the BAFTAs until they cough up the people responsible.

They've been purging anyone who doesn't support their white supremacist agenda from the BBC for a while now, this is the culture of their entire institution.

From the article:
"Variety reported that Davidson has contacted Sinners’ studio Warner Bros to personally apologise to Jordan, Lindo and the production designer Hannah Beachler who also reported hearing an N-word directed at her."
