So now it turns out he's also been caught on camera saying 'Paki' and 'raghead'.

Oh well, at least a wide swath of the public now have a prince who's much more representative of them.

He should wise up and move to a part of America where no one knows what Paki means and raghead's as acceptable as the N-word used to be.

What are you talking about? He's obviously ready to take the crown and travel the commonwealth representing GB.

Harry and the Chamber of Ragheads


But for those who want to let Prince Harry off the hook quickly, don't forget that in January 2005 he donned a Nazi outfit complete with a swastika for a costume party. This raises a few questions: 1. What type of costume party is held in January? and 2. What type of party would wearing a Nazi costume be considered cool?!...


I know that many "white" people - and when I say "white people," I say that with as much affection as Prince Harry had for his "raghead" friend - would tell us to relax. As a former white person myself (I was white until 9/11), I understand that sentiment because there isn't a slur you can call a white person that offends them. Who would care if I referred to Harry as "Prince Cracker" or "His Royal Honkiness." White people wouldn't take to the streets to protest or even change their Facebook status to complain about it.

Truly the only complaint I have heard from "white people" with respect to these types of slurs is that political correctness has limited their freedom to make certain "honest" comments. On behalf of all non-white people I just want to say we are all sincerely sorry for your loss - you will just be stuck making your "honest" comments in small, private groups of other "white people."

Most British people couldn't give two turds for the royal family, we don't really like them, to be honest.

The US seems to love them though Confused Confused

You're projecting. Other Brits say they quite like 'em and wouldn't fancy eliminating the institution.

I'd say the split would be 60/40 in favor of getting rid of them!!

Think about it, if you were British would you really want a bunch of semi inbred fools representing your image abroad?

It would be like having a whole family of G. W. Bush!!!!
