Liam Gallagher, ever the internet poster, came under fire July 1 after tweeting a slur mocking East Asian people. When some fans pointed out that the slur was racist and that he shouldn’t use it, the frontman of Oasis — who are finally beginning that big reunion tour this Friday — initially pushed back. “Liam [you’re] gonna get cancelled today,” one user wrote about the slur, to which he responded: “Whatever.” When someone asked him what the word meant, he said: “It’s an ancient thought process get on it.”
