You are meeting Denzel Washington and trying to figure out if you can use "the Word" or not

I heard a story of a high school coach who once did on the set of ?// and Denzel literally stormed over to him and got down on his hands and knees and raised his head up and said why yes Master coach im sorry my ignorance in hiring you for this shoot was a tremendous blunder of judgement you redneck racist puke of a human being , got up took the whistle and lanyard from the startled coach and then he commenced to striking him on top of the head and face with swinging whistle saying there's my 300,000 dollar mistake stopped when several players actors in football pads uniform surrounded him pulled him away while screaming at the coach have a good day sir leave my motherf**king site please. and the movie shoot continued as if nothing happened . several actors filed suit with the movie studios citing emotional duress or intimidation after this happened because they were eventually both fired found having made racist slurs publicly to white employees of undisclosed movie studio and set.

I've met him myself, briefly. You don't want to use that word. He's the kindest, most fatherly man I've ever talked to. Just hearing him talk casually makes you want to listen and respect him out of admiration, not fear. The feeling I got and still feel today makes me imagine that's what it's like being in the company of an angel! He's an amazing man.
