BD Wong has apologised for his recent racist remark. The “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” alum took to social media to apologize for using a “despicable, racist trope” in a now-deleted comment this week. He left the comment under a post by Mike Holston, an animal enthusiast better known online as “therealtarzann." At the time, the latter shared a video of himself with an exotic bearcat and asked his followers to “Name this animal... wrong answers only.” Wong left a comment that read: “It appears to be a Black man." Read BD Wong's full apology below: BD Wong has since taken to the Threads app to apologise for his comment: “Y’all I made a very bad joke,” he wrote. “As most people in hot water do, I deleted it for Damage Control but it’s out there & continues to hurt & disappoint & I’m really sorry about the hurt part. Super dumb, but I tried to follow the ‘Wrong Answers Only’ prompt with the wrongest answer. This succeeded only in that it was Super Wrong. I know nobody gets a free pass. I’m sorry if this #wtfbd moment tarnished any respect you may’ve had for me. & thanks if you advocate for an internet that’s safe for everybody.”Several hours later, he followed up on his posts: “I want to elaborate on a racist comment I posted, to clarify that I recognize & accept the responsibility for how terrible it is. It’s also wrong to try to ‘explain’ anything, & I think that causes a further breaking down in folks’ trust.” He added, “Let me please spend the energy on how wrong I know it is to exploit a despicable, racist trope in the supposed spirit of humor; I do know better, but again no excuses. Very sorry for the hurt I’ve caused & for taking lightly something so deeply injurious."
