RE: https://flipboard.social/@CultureDesk/116128359777212906
Update: @Variety interviewed John Davidson about this incident and he gave some deeper explanation of his condition and what happened. According to this conversation, this was not the only offensive word he shouted that evening, and he was assured by BAFTA that swearing would be edited out of the broadcast — yet there was a microphone in front of him in the auditorium. His team says he has reached out to the team behind “Sinners” in order to directly apologize to Michael B. Jordan, Delroy Lindo and production designer Hannah Beachler.

Tourette syndrome is a deeply misunderstood condition. Rena Zito, an associate professor of sociology, writes for @TheConversationUS about coprolalia — the involuntary offensive speech tic that John Davidson displayed at the BAFTA Awards — and why the word he used doesn't necessarily mean he's racist. "It’s like my brain weaponizes my most polite intentions and turns them into the cruelest things," one interviewee told Zito.
