Justin Bieber heard making racist joke in video

The British tabloid, "The Sun on Sunday"  released footage of a young Justin Bieber making a racist joke. Based on the video, Bieber appears to be in his mid-teens. In the brief clip, the Canadian musician is heard making a joke about why dark-skinned people might be afraid of chainsaws, before using a heavily-charged racial profanity as the punch line. The newspaper claims representatives of Bieber have attempted to keep the video hidden for a "huge" sum of money and have known about it for some time, as the video appears to have been shot some time ago. Bieber was last month accused of attempted robbery, according to Los Angeles Police Department, following media reports that he had tried to snatch a young woman's mobile telephone. The Canadian singer is due to stand trial in July in Miami on charges of driving under the influence, resisting arrest and using an expired license. In February, Bieber was charged with assaulting a limousine driver in Toronto. — Reuters
