Here, not only did he admit he used to call people the R word, which, nice of him to not do that anymore, but so uncool to have done it in the first place. He also didn't knew that Hard R refers to a racist slur. Which tells you the kind of background and mind space he comes from. Again, good of him to want to do better, but he has a lot to of catch up to do.

Alright, that clip was funny but he said he used the R word, not that he called people it. And it wasn't an uncommon word at all twenty years ago. There are better points to make.

It's OK. I also used to use the N word. I didn't call anyone it, I just used it. It wasn't racist, I don't use the word anymore, but I never called anyone that.
