Cambridge Analytica chief called Barbados leader N-word

[Al Jazeera] The former chief of Cambridge Analytica - a controversial elections consultancy - has used a highly offensive racial slur to describe the prime minister of Barbados, according to leaked emails cited by The Guardian.

Alexander Nix, whose firm accessed data from millions of Facebook users without authorisation, referred to Prime Minister Mia Mottley and Information Minister Lucille Moe using the N-word in the messages dated October 2010, The Guardian reported on Monday.

The report said Cambridge Analytica's sister company, SCL Elections, was at the time pitching for business with the Barbados Labour party.

According to the messages published by The Guardian, a member of SCL's team wrote to Nix on 15 October, saying: "I get the distinct impression they don't want to talk to us."

To which the SCL Elections boss replied: "they just n*****s."

Nix did not respond to a request to comment on the issue, The Guardian said.
