Prince Harry's Racist Remarks

Never got why calling someone a **** is any different to using Scot and the like - unless used in a derogatory way then what's the problem?
 
Im sure i would drop down dead if he called me a scotty... no wait! I wouldn't! He is out there on the battlefield with his fellow army men where stuff like this is acceptable, i think wee harry is alright actually.
 
I am pretty sure the squaddie in question doesnt get offended...

besides calling someone a **** is so 1990's.

This.

But last time I raised the question, it was because of the "stigma" attached, apparently. Who's being the racist now?!

I would have to agree (at whats the problem here?). I called my black friend at uni a ****** all the time and he never had any problems with it. It was always said in jest. In fact he used to answer 'no im not the ******, he is over there' in reference to one of my other friends who has very dark skin.

Soon you wont be able to call a woman a woman in fear of being sexist.

Yesterday at work we had to remove a sign against our work fence saying "Men at work" or something like that, cause a fat bald brainless lesbian rung our head offices and was "outraged at the sexism so prominently on display". Sometimes I 'almost' wish cancer on a certain type of person. Almost.
 
Absolutely disgusting!

I'm outraged that Prince Arry has the nerve to use such offensive language, I mean if he were to shoot dead one of those so called "ragheads" he could at least have the decency not to offend them as well. :rolleyes:

Really? I would have thought the difference was blindingly obvious, but I guess I am wrong. Oddly enough if a word is used for years as a derogatory insult it tends to get associated with that. And for years the word **** was generally used as an insult (and normally to anyone with the right colour skin rather than people just from Pakistan). Hence why **** is not really considered a word to be used in polite company any more. Simple really, it really does suprise me that some people can't grasp that.
 
For a lad of his age and being a member of the Royal Family he actually comes across as being a really down to earth guy.

Before all these people start with the compliants and 'oh noes he's a racist' comments, think about EVERY single conversation you have had with your friends, have you honestly never said ANYTHING that someone else may take offence to, be it those that you are talking to or a third party? Only difference is if you are this guy it becomes front page news of the gutter press.

Although if this is the worse thing in the world to report on news wise I suppose that's a good thing.

if the word "****" is being used in non offensive context ,amongst friends in private and no one has an issue with it then there should be no problem imo.
