John Galliano scandal

The famous designer John Galliano has been suspended by Christian Dior for making anti-Semitic remarks. He appears in a video saying “I love Hitler” and glorifying the holocaust.

Three people accused him of racially abusing them in a Parisian bar. A woman asks him: “are you blond with blue eyes?” and he replies: “No, but I love Hitler and people like you would be dead, gassed and dead”

In this video John Galliano seems very drunk but this does not justify the racial attack on these people.  

Mr. Galliano is confronting with the French police and his accusers. After this episode another woman approached police to tell a similar story that happened last October. She

didn't pay so much attention to his words, because he was drunk, but when she heard about his comments to an Asian and Jewish couple, she decided to complain to.

Christian Dior said it has zero tolerance on racism and anti-Semitism comments or actions. The responses of the other designers or common people are different.

Giorgio Armani “I am very sorry for him and for the difficult time he is passing. The worst thing is that the videotaped and published the video without him knowing.”

Olivier Zahm ”I know he is not racist whatever he said to them. He has proved it collection by collection with multi-ethnic shows. Hope he will come back soon to Dior and to show his new collections.”

Vogue Italia “He was clearly provoked. Perhaps behind all this are journalists who were waiting to have 3 minutes of video to sell it for a good deal.

Natalie Portman who is Jewish called the video disgusting and shocking. She says “I am proud to be Jewish and after this, I will not be associated with Mr. Galliano in any way. These terrible comments, remind us to reflect and combat these prejudices.
