I must defend him. In that time the n**** word was accepted and used in my country, too instead of the "afro-americans" therm. We didn't undertsand that is humiliating them. We just used and didn't think any bad on them. It took us time to learn. We have already learned! ( But even that word is used today by most of old people ) I apologise the afro-americans.
I have no doubt that the very first time he dropped that word among American skaters they told him straight away it was unacceptable.
And I have severe doubts that all of Russia was that ignorant about the connotations of a world well-known as a racial slur for over a century. Especially in the 90s after the breakup of the Soviet Union.
