You are amazingly naive.
Really? Do explain how I'm naive, especially seeing as you don't know me. Actually don't bother, try only replying when you have some kind of intellectual input

You also, incidently, only see the part of the video where he's being a dick.
People probably only knew to get their cameras out once he started yelling. Do you expect them to have a camera on him at all times to make sure they're prepared to catch everything in case he does flip out?
Or, as the paper has been found to do in the past, the whole thing was set up and recorded until they forced a suitibly news worthy reaction. In this case, they struck gold.

You realize he's part of the most judgemental industry there is, right? And that that industry values young white women above all others? Google image search the word "Dior" and see how many "races and creeds" pop up. I'll give you a hint - there's only one.
He didn't just design for Dior. And wait, considering this thread started with a link to Natalie Portman, a proud Jewish girl who is on their roster... are you saying that they are all Jews? The fashion industry is more pathetic than you could imagine, BUT it's not one where you last very long in when you have prejudices against Creeds, especially considering how close he was also to the entertainment industry. The fashion industry is petty and shallow, but also makes huge amounts of money from being "liberal".

Drugs and alcohol aren't the "gateways into the soul" that many people take them to be.
Alcohol lowers your inhibitions, or in other words, removes your social filter. Anything you would have thought in your head but kept yourself from saying out loud when you're sober, you'll say when you're drunk.
You know what I do when I'm drunk? I go around hugging people and telling them I love them. This guy told people that them and their distant relatives should have been gasses by Hitler.
Like I said, they could have baited him
very easily to get angry, but there's absolutely no way they could have made him bring race into the argument unless he was already thinking it.
I'm gonna have to call bullshit on that one, although I don't expect you to agree. I've worked in the bar and nightclub industry for years now, and if there's one thing that can seriously influence people to be who they are not, it's alcohol and drugs. YOU may not be affected in such a way, although you refer to alcohol- I doubt he was just drunk (in fact, I think they found that he'd been spiked, which is why he's suing... not sure on that though, don't quote me). Either way, it DOES make people do and say things that they wouldn't normally. Are people on hard drugs the same as they were off of them? Do people on LSD even know what they are saying? To people who get spiked secretly want to sleep with the people that rape them?
Drugs in particular change the way you think, from something little like weed making you hungry when your body isn't, to acid making you hallucinate. Sure it uses information that already exists in your brain, but not necessarily in any way that you would normally think or piece together. Put it this way, he's drugged up, being provoked, and all that his little petty mind can string together is "anger-shes jewish-I hate her-Hitler". It's not exactly rocket science to think of Hitler and nazism when you are being verbally goaded faster than you can think by an aggressive Jewish person
I'm not saying that he definitely ISN'T an anti semite, I'm just saying that I don't believe that he is, based on the suspicious circumstances in which this paper, famous for doing this to people, reported and uncovered it.
