BD Wong has apologised for making a racist joke on social media recognising that “nobody gets a free pass”.

The Jurassic World: Dominion actor, 65, who is gay, had responded to a post by Mike Holston, a Black influencer who goes by @TheRealTarzan.

On Monday (1 December) Holston posted a clip of himself with a binturong on his shoulders and the caption: “Name this animal… wrong answers only.” In response, Wong commented: “It appears to be a Black man.”

Afterward, Wong deleted the comment and posted an apology on Threads on Tuesday (2 December).

“Y’all l made a very bad joke,” the actor started. “As most people in hot water do, I deleted it for Damage Control but it’s out there & continues to hurt & disappoint & I’m really sorry about the hurt part.”
