Popular social media star 3bucksleft under fire for 'tinker' comment in video

A popular social media comedian is facing backlash after the use of a racist slur in one of his videos.

3 Bucks posted a video for his followers on social media in which he used the word ‘tinker’, a discriminatory slur against Travellers.

“The sun is high in the sky. I’m sweating here like a tinker trying to read. It’s nearly too warm for creamy f*ck**g pints,” said the comedian who has a combined social media following of almost 500,000.

People called 3 Bucks out, calling him “racist” and asking him to make an apology.

A Mayo woman from the Traveller community demanded an apology for “anti Traveller racism” and said she would willingly discuss why his comments are not acceptable.
