The world’s most popular living songwriter Paul McCartney speaks about his history with racist terms and how he has learned from his mistakes, in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail.

Speaking on that regrettable time, the icon revealed:
"When I was a kid, you were racist without knowing it. It was just the normal thing to use certain words you wouldn't use now. Along the way we suddenly realized how it would make the people you were talking about feel. I don't think until then we'd ever even thought about other people. It was like a joke between ourselves."
"But then someone points out, 'Well, that's denigrating…' you know, in my case, black people. And then the penny drops, and I think that's what happened for a lot of people. Certainly a lot of people in my generation used to use words you wouldn't use now."
Estimated to be worth £780 million, McCartney has sold more than 100 million albums and 100 million singles. Heretically, it has been suggested that he is bigger than The Beatles.
