Im not making excuses but its an generation that were ignorant to racial terms. My dads 90 and he uses a word when he is pointing someone out to me at football...he isnt racist and I have told him its not a phrase he should be using in this day and age but he forgets. Sadly its just the era they grew up in.
However...this guy in his position should be called up for it and he should really know better. Unacceptable.
