“Nobody cared” - HasanAbi criticizes Sidemen for not removing KSI's racist slur from video

sportskeeda.com:

Twitch star and political commentator Hasan "HasanAbi" recently gave his take on the KSI racial slur controversy. For context, the English YouTuber was guilty of using the word "P***" in a Sidemen video on YouTube. The term is offensive towards people of South Asian origin.

Although HasanAbi admitted that he wasn't aware the word had racist connotations, he was surprised that Sidemen allowed it to make the final cut in their video. He added that, unlike livestreams, it's much easier to edit out slips of the tongue in YouTube uploads, allowing for greater control over the final product.

The streamer remarked:

The political commentator also expressed his belief that KSI is not someone who intentionally tries to be "edgy":

According to HasanAbi, if Sidemen were an American group, the word would not have been considered offensive because it is only used as a derogatory term in the UK and certain Commonwealth regions.

The streamer added that, in the event of misspeaking, he typically makes a mental note of the mistake and requests that his editor remove that section. He was surprised that KSI did not take a similar approach:

HasanAbi concluded by pointing out that KSI has a lot going for him in terms of business ventures (such as Prime Hydration) and that Sidemen are extremely popular. Considering it all, he found it difficult to comprehend why the YouTuber would act in such a foolish manner.
