President Joe Biden has come under scrutiny for referring to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg as an 'intellectual wigger' during his remarks at a NATO anniversary event. The term 'wigger' is a derogatory expression used to describe white individuals who adopt cultural traits typically associated with African Americans. Biden's remarks included praise for Stoltenberg's integrity and the progress made in the alliance. This incident has sparked controversy and raised questions about Biden's choice of words, his reliance on the teleprompter, and the potential implications for diplomatic relations within the NATO alliance.
