Actor Viggo Mortensen apologizes for using racial slurs
Viggo Mortensen apologized for using a racial slur during a discussion about his new film "Green Book." Viggo told Hollywood Reporter that people during the time of 1962 used the slur often, when the movie takes place.
He said "He had no right to even imagine the hurt that is caused by hearing the word in any context." He says he intended to "speak strongly against racism. and he is sorry for using the word.
Analysis: This article was written on November 9, 2018. The audience the writer is speaking to is the people who felt offended by Mortensen slur he used. I think in the society we are in we have to be careful what we was because it can come off as bad and that is not the intention of it. I believe Viggo Mortensen should be clear if he uses the slur and say why after it because if he doesn't people can take it the wrong way. This article relates to history with racism and racial slurs the white people would say about and to black individuals. They were meant to hurt black people and keep them oppressed.
