John Galliano was recently suspended by Dior for exchanging racial comments with a couple at La Perle in Paris, France. The police arrested Mr. Galliano for such actions. Religion and ethnicity are the most sensitive topics to tackle. Trust me, there is no winner or loser in this type of conversation.
Yes, we are given the right to voice our opinion with certain things. As human beings, we take things literally. People's troubled history can lead to an unending and brutal discussion. People get killed by defending their stand in what they believe in.
John Galliano is a prominent figure in the fashion industry. Everyone knows him. I doubt that the couple seated next to him did not recognize the designer from Dior. I am positive that they knew him.
I believe that the incident was blown out of proportion. If he was not famous, do you think this
will be out in the global press? NO. He shouldn't been drinking alone. His assistant or his publicist should have been at his side.
If Mr. Galliano did say those statements? Shame on him. There are two sides of the coin. We only heard the side of the couple. The designer himself did not give any statement. The house of Dior took action by suspending him from the label. Crucial time to place a designer in detention before the big show this coming Paris Fashion Week.
If he is proven guilty, Mr. Galliano should be afraid. The world right now is not a safe place to live in. With these statements, death treats can come knocking at his door steps.
In life, we have to be careful and sensitive in what we say to people. We have to think before talking. Words are powerful and strong. It can kill.
