Delroy Lindo

Delroy Lindo is a British-American actor. He is currently newsworthy due to an incident at the BAFTAs where a person with Tourette's syndrome shouted a racial slur while Lindo and Michael B. Jordan were presenting an award. The incident has sparked widespread condemnation and apologies from the BBC and the Tourette's advocate involved. Lindo has expressed gratitude for the support he and Jordan have received following the incident. The event has also raised complex feelings for Black people with Tourette's syndrome and prompted discussions about editing live broadcasts and the BBC's handling of the situation, including criticism for editing out a 'Free Palestine' tribute while leaving the slur unaired. The incident highlights ongoing issues of racism and representation within media and society.
