Pop singer Justin Bieber has come under fire after a video has emerged of him using the the N-word in a racist joke.
The footage, which was exclusively obtained by The Sun, shows the 20-year-old grinning while using the highly offensive term in an attempt to make his friends laugh.
Justin, who appears to be a number of years younger in the video, can be heard asking his friends ‘Why are black people afraid of chainsaws?’
Justin, whose mentor Usher is African American, then started making the noise of the chainsaw and concluded his ‘joke’ with ‘ Run ******, *******, ******, ******, ******.’
Video is from 2011! pmsl most of his friends are black

Wait a tick I'm all for not judging someone on what they said when they were 12 (especially when they're currently out and about setting fire to their neighbour's houses and whatever else) but let's not pretend that the actual "joke" isn't racist

So Justin Bieber can tell a racist joke, and it's fine(!)
Jim Davidson tells a racist joke, and the whole world wants to kill him.
Sounds about right.

Doesn't make it any less news worthy.

I'd say it does, this should be a minor footnote if mentioned at all in the judgement of someone who is still out and about committing major offences and putting people in very real danger. Or of course you could go the other way and instead of focusing on the person focus on the issue of how society tackles the teaching of race in youth culture, in which case the person saying X phrase is not important. Basically either way this as a standalone story is dull; it's just a tiny comma in the story of [racism][jb being a ***][delete as appropriate]

he was obviously saying a lot of offensive jokes as the joke he said before got the reply "that's just straight ignorant"
why does he find offensive/racist jokes so funny!

Now, I don't particularly like this kid, but seriously, who the hell cares? Can anyone honestly say they've never told a slightly racist joke?

That was not racist but then again this is The Sun so they wouldn't know what racism actually is.
EDIT: Oh God I stuck up for that twerp. I feel dirty.
