> It recounts an incident that occurred "several months ago" when Friedland used the N-word during a meeting with Netflix public relations staff during a discussion about "sensitive words." Several people told him they were offended by his use of the full word, according to Hastings's memo. This is a joke right? I could understand that he would have been ousted for using this word in a normal conversation on the regular, actually meaning to hurt someone with that. But I can't see any form of disrespect here. Actually saying "N-word" instead would be more offensive to me, because I am an adult not some 5-year old. If you really feel triggered by the use of this word in a meta-discussion I can only advise you to leave your echo-chamber and get a sense for some real problems.
