I don't think this would fly in the USA. Calling someone a Jew or Jewish is not illegal. At most in the USA he might be charged with disorderly behavior or some such
A French prosecutor wants the fashion designer John Galliano to pay 10,000 euros ($14,350) in damages to people at whom he allegedly hurled anti-Semitic abuse in a drunken outburst that has wrecked a towering career.
Galliano, an enfant terrible of fashion with a huge celebrity following, told the court in Paris he had been so out of control on drink and drugs that he could not recall hurling insults at strangers in a bar in recent months.
The judge also read phrases he allegedly uttered in a February 24 incident in Paris including "dirty Jewish face," "f****** Asian b****** I will kill you," and "f****** ugly Jewish b****."
Asked whether he remembered the insults, Galliano said: "I don't remember very well ... I have no recollection," adding: "I have a triple addiction. Alcohol, sleeping pills and Valium."

The only thing that is consistent is Sig's inane remarks.
"At most in the USA he might be charged with disorderly behavior or some such"
No, that is completely wrong. Here in the USA you would not be charged with anything.
We all know that the US is shallow when it comes to racial equallity under the current administration and with a heavily prejudiced Obama lackey heading the DOJ who won't punish black crime but getting back to the artical the country in question is France.
Some of them still feel the guilt for the deportation of Jews to the death camps under the Vichy government, not many, but they have power.
With that context in mind this upstart is getting off lightly. He is heavily racist in his remarks and should be held up as an example especially to the muslims in France. As to his addictions, well that is a personal problem that does not have anything to do with his racial opinion except loosening his lips. He deserves everything he will get and more.
