I saw a clip of that. Yeah, he was angry but I firmly believe that emotions (whether natural or brought about by alcohol) bring out people's true feelings.
To say the word to the person's face means he was trying to cut to the core of that person. To say the word on the phone to a friend means those were his true feelings (brought out by anger).
Of course this would bring about the same old debate but I still stay away from declaring racist so quickly.
