Then surely he could pronounce the slur correctly, n'est pas?
But whom exactly was he trying to impress by using it? In particular, by not using it as a slur but by, in your diseased mind, slipping it in by "confusing" it with his name.
I absolutely love this logic: He heard the proper version of this "slur" (no, I am not convinced it is a common slur or even a nasty one) at home with his French-descent Tunisian mother. He then chooses, at a political event, with an opponent's camera pointing at him, to use a bastardized version of this slur -- with an extra syllable -- that nobody in the audience would understand so that...well, I guess so that he can convince Le Pen supporters that he's on their side.
Yeah, that's it. It's the French racism gambit.
But keep trolling, it's better than thinking.
Im not trying to deduce why the man said what he did. Im just saying its in poor taste. I dont think Allen is a racist, just he should have known better than to give something his opposition can jump on like this..
