It's really, really, really not. It is BECAUSE he thinks it's a bad word and it's the worst thing that he could say, that he said it. That's exactly what coprocalia is. It's PROFOUNDLY crippling. Your brain makes you say the worst possible thing you can say based on the situation. I used just a few of these below:

-He yelled "I have a bomb" at an airport.
-He yelled "I'm a pedo!" near a school.
-He was walking by a cop with a bag of sugar in his pocket, going home from the market, and he yelled "I HAVE CRACK COCAINE!" He was arrested.
-He told a judge trying to swear him in a c***, which did not help his legal troubles
-He was assaulted for calling a woman a slut.
-He called his MOTHER a slut at the grocery store.
-He has to have his dog specially trained to NOT listen to certain commands, like when he tells his dog to run onto the tracks when the train is coming.

He was not able to finish school because he was isolated due to his outbursts and he couldn't sit for exams. He attempted suicide when his father left the family, blaming it on his outbursts.

This is not me saying that people don't have a right to be angry - that's crazy to me, SOMEONE SAID THE HARD N WORD ON TV - it's just that this is a fundamental misunderstanding of his condition, which alarmingly often is what gets them killed, usually by suicide but also by homicide. No one would want this man's life. This is not him "saying it because that's how he thinks" - it is literally a complete misfire of his neurons. He cannot control himself. Literally. It doesn't mean he's racist.
