"Here we have young boys and girls, that now they're hearing this word, it's like a throwaway word - but it's referring to them in a derogatory way. "And actually the group in particular we're talking about, a lot of the time don't have a voice and they rely on other people to give them that voice." "He was on the record as saying that he now realises that it's considered highly offensive to people, and for that he was deeply sorry and he would take that word out because he had learned that it did upset people, it did upset a group.
