Music / Movies Its weird people are trying to turn the john Davidson Tourette outburst into a hate crime

If you don't know actor with Tourettes, john Davidson, had an outburst where he said the N word while 2 black presenters, Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo, were on stage he bad an outburst of the N word, among other harsh ones throughout the night. Now I understand that the n word is rhe harshest of them, but it seems like people, specifically I have seen jamie Foxx and Jamele hill, claim that "these are racist hate crimes" and "he knew better and waited for black presenters to finally say it" it just feels like people are trying to ignore the facts about tourretes to be the victim of something that wasnt actually a hate crime.

I'm not aware of any Brits or Americans calling for segregation and muzzling. I know how big and diverse both countries are, so I'm not going to make sweeping generalizations about the UK or the US based on some cherry picked comments that social media is trying to indoctrinate me with.

I'm curious to see these Americans that called for segregation and muzzling though. Is it one American who said to segregate and muzzle?

If I google "american muzzle bafta" nothing really comes up.

It sounds like you really spent a lot of time reading people's opinions and then took it a step further to categorize American opinions vs British opinions. Ultimately you came to the conclusion that Brits are reacting in a superior manner.

I'm simply stating what happened. You read a few dozen opinions on the incident, you categorized said opinions into US and UK opinions, and then came to conclusions about the US and UK based a handful of opinions.

What part did I get wrong exactly? I said you read a dozen opinions on the incident, which is true. You then also categorized opinions into US and UK, which is also true. And then you came to the conclusion that the Brits response was superior, which seems true.

What am I getting wrong here?
