Eff you BBC
Snip
In an Instagram clip shared by BBC News of Paul Thomas Anderson’s best director speech for “One Battle After Another,” he says “anyone that says movies aren’t any good anymore can just piss right off,” with “piss” bleeped out for social media. The clip that was shared on the BAFTA and BBC YouTube pages removed the sentence entirely.

How does that measure up? How can the N-word go out freely without consequence?

A BBC spokesperson said in a statement to NBC News: “Some viewers may have heard strong and offensive language during the BAFTA Film Awards 2026. This arose from involuntary verbal tics associated with Tourette syndrome, and was not intentional. We apologize for any offense caused by the language heard.”

NBC News also reported that the broadcast that aired in the U.S. on E! did not appear to bleep the slur out either.

The path forward is not for us to hunt for a villain. It’s to demand that our institutions do better. Edit responsibly, prepare thoughtfully, protect proactively and educate consistently. Michael B. Jordan, Delroy Lindo, John Davidson, the Tourette’s community and Black people deserved better.

1. People are making excuses

Perhaps if you have a condition that makes you use racial slurs. You should excuse yourself because you have no right to hurt others.
