One fan of the sidemen had to say this.<\/p>\n

“The fact the incident was made light of on the show was wrong and compounded the hurt,”<\/p>\n

\n
\n

“This word has so much hate and anger behind it,” Aisha, 21, tells Newsbeat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“I feel like his younger audience don’t see anything wrong with it and that’s disgusting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“The fact that he just said it so calmly and casually, with his friends just laughing about it, I just find it so disgusting how they saw nothing wrong with that word.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“And his apology, I just don’t think it’s genuine, either.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
