From the NSP News Service: When will this Judenscheiss end? Of course, the NSP recognizes that "reverse discrimination" is a cultural commonplace these days, and is probably worse in many European nations than in the U.S. But anybody who fires an employee for some "antisemitic" comments has "a lot of crust!" One apparently can't "diss" a Jew or a negro, but if you are, say, of Danish extraction, there is no penalty for being called a "square head." Either the "rules" should work for all, or they should be erased completely! But, as Dr. Jacques Pluss, NSP Leader, states "don't ever imagine that a Jew will be able to forgive or forget a damn thing when he or she feels 'wronged'. Incidents in my own life these past two years just serve to prove my point."
Fired for anti-Semitic remarks in 2011, John Galliano sues Dior

British designer John Galliano, who is suing French fashion house Dior, appears at the end of his Spring/Summer 2011 fashion show for the label in Paris on January 24, 2011.
Galliano, a talented and theatrical designer once at the top of the fashion world, will argue that he was fired "without real and serious cause," his lawyer, Chantal Giraud-van Gaver, told Reuters.
Earlier this week, a Paris labor court ruled that it had the right to hear the case. Dior, part of luxury goods group LVMH, will have two weeks to accept or contest that decision.
The court will not hear the case before October or November, Giraud-van Gaver added.
The once-stellar career of Galliano, 52, went south after the British designer was caught on camera making anti-Semitic remarks in a Paris cafe in 2011. A French court handed out a 6,000-euro ($8,100) suspended fine to Galliano in 2011 after he was found guilty of anti-Semitic behavior.
He has since apologized and last month issued a statement in which he said he has been in recovery from alcoholism for the past two years.
In January, Galliano did a three-week residency with Oscar de la Renta's New York studio before New York Fashion Week.
Giraud-van Gaver disputed that her client was seeking 15 million euros in damages, as some media have reported. She said Galliano was seeking damages, but would not specify a number.
LVMH have declined to comment on the case.
