The ceremony aired on a two-hour delay on BBC One in the U.K. and on E! in the U.S. and yet the slur remained in the broadcast. Deadline noted that other remarks were censored, including the BBC cutting Akinola Davies Jr.’s “free Palestine” comment at the end of his speech.

I can excuse the dude with the verbal tic having an outburst, understandable. What gets my goat is that you fucks censored the Free Palestine comment instead.

I'm not ItsVibes, what you said shouldn't happen but I think it's be reasonable he did it at least every time he used a slur against a minority person (for example this case) and the other person didn't know about his condition

The whole point of apologizing is first and foremost to acknowledge damage done. People who are aware of his condition might (and only might) not be as hurt, and that's why in those cases such a strong apology might not be needed.
