Jonte Richardson Resigns From BAFTA Panel Over Racial Slur Row

Producer Jonte Richardson resigned from a BAFTA judging panel following the organization's handling of a racial slur used by John Davidson during the awards ceremony.The incident occurred while actors Delroy Lindo and Michael B. Jordan were presenting, with the BBC facing heavy criticism for leaving the slur audible for 15 hours.John Davidson, who has Tourette's syndrome and was attending for his film "I Swear", issued an apology for the involuntary outbursts that Jamie Foxx labeled unacceptable.The controversy has highlighted a perceived double standard after the BBC edited a speech by Akinola Davies Junior while initially failing to censor the slur.
