Tourette Syndrome at the Bafta Awards

B

I just read this:

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/feb/23/backlash-bafta-n-word-controversy-jamie-foxx-wendell-pierce-tourette-activist-john-davidson?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-gb

I can't decide what I think about the responses.

If a person usually uses the 'N' word as a tic, then maybe them not being in the audience would have been best at it's a very unpleasant and offensive word.

But must they have been there with regard to the awards anyway, so there wasn't really a choice to make for the organisers?  Should they be excluded?

There is obviously no intention for offence and the tic is unable to be controlled.

What do you think?

  • I thinking we need ‘radical acceptance’ I cannot sadly imagine a world where people are not pitting against each other, one marginalised group against another. People are angry, rightly so but unfortunately the people who are truelly to blame will not be sullied by that. Let’s not fuel the fire or fan the flames further.
