Isn't he calling out that he feels he's going to be forced to say the word in a hateful way in the actual show itself? It wasn't great he said the word but I feel his anger was justified, he said the word to draw attention to the fact he doesn't want to use it in a put down context in the show itself. He doesn't like having to pretend to be a massive bigoted character and they keep making him do it.

It's always about the context

If someone asks me what the rap group NWA stood for, I shouldn't have to censor myself unless I'm around children or something where I wouldn't use profanity
