F.d. signifier talks about this in one of his videos. Don't remember which and can't find it. But as I recall his take was that it's weird to be OK with playing a hyper-racist slaver right up until you have to say the n-word. Not to say DiCaprio is a bad person or whatever, but it's a good point.

Not surprised that this braindead take comes from f.d. signifier
