YOUTUBE sensation PewDiePie has dramatically hit back at his critics in a video in which he risks creating yet more controversy by mockingly saying "Hitler was right".

Yesterday, the web celeb uploaded a film entitled "in my defence" in which he justified recent decisions to pay Indian men to hold up a banner saying "death to all Jews" and shoot a vid in which he appeared to say the word "n****".

PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg, said that "context was everything" and used articles from The Sun Online to illustrate his point.

He said: "It's 2017 now and we are going to have to start separating what is a joke and what is actually problematic.

"Is a joke actually pure racism? Is a joke something that would be considered pure homophobia or anti-Semitic?"

He defended his actions as a joke before saying the words "death to all Jews and Hitler was right" in order to make the point that he was not calling for a genocide, but was trying to be funny.

"For some f****** reason these Indian guys went ahead and wrote 'death to all Jews' on a sign," he added.

"Which, you know, there's something funny about that.

"It might be my crude sense of humour, but I think there's something funny about that and I don't think there's any actual anti-Semitic thing about it."

He added: "I think being the political correctness police is essentially just going to f*** us all over."
