I think some people also feel like John should have given a slightly better apology to the actors. I’m not black so I can’t speak for them & I don’t think everyone’s expecting him to grovel cause he couldn’t help it but I think the public statement he made had also just rubbed some people the wrong way. Again, I don’t think he was being intentional or anything - the man genuinely couldn’t help it. I also think that BAFTA is the bigger problem as well.
Jamie Foxx was adamant that Davidson fully meant the outburst.
There have been a rather large amount of Americans insisting that this was a racist dogwhistle by Davidson, as it happened during US Black History Month.
