McCartney said people from his generation were unwittingly using language that wouldn't be acceptable today, reported Daily Mirror.
Speaking about words he used in his youth, the singer said in an interview to Event magazine, "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 realised how it would make the people you were talking about feel.
