On the website for The Sun newspaper, I found an article about fashion designer John Galliano being convicted of using anti-Semitic and racist language. As I read further into the story, I found a video of Galliano using these racial slurs while drunk and on valium at a bar in Paris. The story clearly states that he had been drinking champagne and taking valium pills “like they were candy”. Later in the story, the newspaper quotes some of the racist comments he made toward people. Now, in an American newspaper or news website, you would not find these quotes, because they are racist and they include curse words. The UK papers do not seem to mind including these words in their column. I guess that is because they are the words of the man convicted and not the words of the journalist who wrote the story.
