A Night at the BAFTAs: Anti-ableism vs. Anti-racism

We discuss the uproar and confusion that ensued when John Davidson, who suffers from Coprolalia (the form of Tourettes that induces vulgar language and gestures), said the N-word at the Baftas. Why did the BBC not bleep the N-word when they had already bleeped "Free Palestine" and other slurs?Who is the more righteous, those who find racism in John Davidson's heart, or those who attack the accusation of racism as ableist?We discuss Lacan and the signifier, we discuss the compulsion to apologize and virtue signal, and the spectacle of it all.
