Quentin Tarantino\u2019s continued use of the N-word in his films is \u201cracist and creepy\u201d, according to Pulp Fiction actress Rosanna Arquette.<\/p>\n
The film director\u2019s continued use of the word in his work has split opinion since the 1990s.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on the 1994 classic, Pulp Fiction, Arquette questioned why the 62-year-old had been given a \u201chall pass\u201d to use it in his work.<\/p>\n
Arquette had a minor but memorable role in the film, playing the wife of a drug dealer and telling John Travolta\u2019s character, Vincent Vega, that she had pierced her tongue as a \u201csex thing\u201d.<\/p>\n

She told The Sunday Times: \u201cIt\u2019s iconic, a great film on a lot of levels. But personally, I am over the use of the N-word \u2013 I hate it. I cannot stand that he [Tarantino] has been given a hall pass. It\u2019s not art, it\u2019s just racist and creepy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tarantino\u2019s scripts, including Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Django Unchained, have featured characters who often use the N-word during dialogue, but he has defended this in the past as being authentic to the story.<\/p>\n
Fellow film-makers, Spike Lee and Lee Daniels, have criticised him for overly focusing on the word and the casualness with which it is used, questioning whether it is necessary.<\/p>\n
However, actors such as Jamie Foxx and Samuel L. Jackson, frequent collaborators with Tarantino, have regularly jumped to the defence of the storyteller.<\/p>\n

Last year, Foxx told Vanity Fair about how Leonardo DiCaprio has struggled with saying the N-word, which is used about 100 times in the 2012 film Django Unchained.<\/p>\n
\u201cI told Leo that in slavery days we would never talk to each other,\u201d Foxx said. \u201cI\u2019m not your friend. I\u2019m not Jamie Foxx. I\u2019m Django. And I told him, you won\u2019t really be able to play that character until you understand what slavery is about.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jackson previously said that he and Tarantino told DiCaprio that he had to say the N-word even if it made him uncomfortable.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery time someone wants an example of overuse of the N-word, they go to Quentin \u2013 it\u2019s unfair,\u201d Jackson told The New York Times. \u201cHe\u2019s just telling the story, and the characters do talk like that. When Steve McQueen does it, it\u2019s art. He\u2019s an artiste. Quentin\u2019s just a popcorn film-maker.\u201d<\/p>\n
It comes just weeks after John Davidson, a Tourette\u2019s syndrome campaigner, yelled the N-word at the Baftas while actors Delroy Lindo and Michael B Jordan were on stage at the ceremony.<\/p>\n
Davidson, who was the inspiration behind the Bafta-winning film I swear, said the BBC should have done more to protect him, knowing that the condition causes tics.<\/p>\n
On Instagram, Foxx said this was \u201cunacceptable\u201d and that \u201cout of all the words you could\u2019ve said, Tourette\u2019s made you say that\u201d, adding he \u201cmeant that\u201d.<\/p>\n
Explaining how it had been broadcast by the BBC despite a two-hour time delay, Tim Davie, outgoing director-general, said staff editing the programme had only heard one of the two occasions when it had been shouted out.<\/p>\n
