Comedian and actor Deon Cole has addressed growing backlash to a controversial joke he made about John Davidson’s involuntary racial slur at the Baftas.
Cole, whose credits include the sitcom black-ish, hosted the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Image Awards on Saturday (28 February), and brought up the incident in which Davidson, who has Tourette syndrome, shouted a slur while Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage.
