The man called Alexander a 'big fat *insert racism here*' how is that not using it as a personal insult?

Alexander took the time to explain to him why what he said was unacceptable and what he should say instead, it obviously bothered him otherwise he wouldn't have felt the need to do that

Did he not warn him to be carefull who it says it to rather then take offence if you ask me Perez joking about a illness millions have died from is more of offence

an evil or destructive practice or phenomenon that is hard to contain or eradicate. "racism is a cancer sweeping across Europe" There you go, there's a definition of the term 'cancer' away from the medical field, with the perfect example to go along with it

He didn't make a joke about people having cancer.. He referred to ken as cancer within the group. Completely different.

No doubt about it. Very ignorant and extremely arrogant.

Quite sick of hearing his age used as an excuse.
He may be 71 now, but when the words were deemed offensive he would still be a rather young/middle aged man. |

I have met and spoken to many older people in my time, thousands, not once have I ever heard any of them use that word to describe black people. Ken was
fully aware he would cause controversy by using that term and I am pretty sure that is what he set out to do we live in an age where trying to be controversial is becoming so cliche. |

Not forgetting that he prefixed "Negro" with "big,fat"
Of course he meant what he was saying!

For sure he meant it IMO. HE wanted to cause controversy and the fact he has his excuses ready now he's left the house made it all the more calculating. I'm having less and less sympathy for Ken he's not a bungling old man trying to adapt at all. I think he intended to insult people and cause controversy..
