    hmmm… I can see that as being possibly problematic. one would think that Snoop would have said something if he thought so, considering he’s in the scene and says it himself, several times.

      Who knows? Maybe he was fine with it. Maybe he thought it was not that big a deal even though it was kind of racist. Maybe he thought they paycheck was worth a little minor racism. I mean it’s not like it’s a character yelling the N-word.

      I wouldn’t exactly call Snoop a paragon of integrity either. He did say he loved and respected Trump.

        I dunno. I’m not gonna speculate. the word is also an antiquated ableist slur, so that’s also problematic for its own reasons…
