Fashion magazine editor sacked for Rihanna racial slur

The editor of a Dutch fashion magazine has been fired after the publication used a racial slur to refer to Barbados-born Rihanna.

Eva Hoeke, editor of Jackie, and the magazine's publisher said in a joint statement on Facebook that the misuse of a racial slur - "although without malicious intentions" - was cause for Hoeke's departure after eight years on the job.
