Its pathetic, anything is racist nowadays.

 

Erm well he did use the p word which is considered a racist word. :mellow:

Erm well he did use the p word which is considered a racist word. :mellow:

 

And it's a word been used BY racists and racist organisations (such as the NF/BNP/Combat 18, etc) for over 30 years..... Only the young who never grew up in the 70s/80s and saw the racist grafitti the stupid or, hate to say it, white, would say that this word is anything other than offensive....

 

He also said 'raghead'.... So, that's two against him..... Oh, and the small, minor matter of dressing up as a Nazi at a party.... Er, the phrase "pattern of behaviour" springs to mind here..... How much fukkin 'leaway' are we supposed to give His Royal Tw@tness......? <_< He was supposed to have "grown up" after the 'Nazi' incident.... Yeah, right..... :rolleyes:

DIfferent set of circumstances though in terms of that Tory guy

 

He is someone that was on the shortlist to be an MP at the next election, the next Madeleine McCann would possibly have been in his constituency and he would have to be heavily involved in the hunt for missing kids, so the fact he was prepared to dress up as Maddy complete with fake blood made him totally unfit for public office for the very reasons I gave above, he would be an elected official by the people

 

Yeah, running for Public Office. Having influence over people, being a "role-model", being in the public eye, etc.... So, we do expect those who hold sway over public opinion (and, well, whether we acknowledge it or not, the Royals still DO have a certain influence and sway over certain sections of public opinion, and are certainly in the public eye, the Royals almost certainly benefit a LOT from media coverage, so perhaps they should stop bloody whinging when it all goes tits up for them; live by PR, die by PR mate...) to have a better set of standards than ordinary Joe Public... PRINCE Harry mate, not Harry Windsor, ordinary squaddie.... The word PRINCE here being quite important, like it or not..... This is very far from being a relationship of equals amongst Harry and his Chums, he can pretend all he wants to be an "ordinary bloke", it just does NOT wash with me, and it is fukkin patronising..... <_<

 

Can somebody tell me how its news that Prince Charles calls someone Sooty - which, btw, is his nickname - and is considered racist?

 

By that token, my mum should feel offended whenever anyone calls her "Paddy" - she doesn't mind it, and has that nickname because she's from Ireland.

because hes black?.... as his name has nothing to do with 'soot' then its clearly a referance to his skin colour.

 

yep, your mum should feel offended by being called 'paddy' as 'paddy' is derived directly from 'patrick' which is a boys name! lol. is she rather masculine by chance? :lol:

I thought that Irish women were sometimes referred to as "Colleens.....".... :rolleyes:

Harry is only following in his family footsteps, I mean they have got form for saying things that make you wince, here a few of grandpa Phil's famous quotes:

 

1. China State Visit, 1986

 

If you stay here much longer, you’ll all be slitty-eyed.

2. To an Aborigine in Australia

 

“Do you still throw spears at each other?”

3. When asked if he would like to visit the Soviet Union

 

“The bast*rds murdered half my family”

4. To a driving instructor in Scotland

 

“How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the test?”

5. To a student who had been trekking in Papua New Guinea

 

“You managed not to get eaten, then?”

 

6. To the President of Nigeria, dressed in traditional robes

 

“You look like you’re ready for bed!”

7. On key problems facing Brazil

 

“Brazilians live there”

No, she isn't masculine. (Mind you, you could probably have it has deriving from Patricia, the female version of Patrick.)

She's never heard anyone calling her Colleen.

(And didn't you know - Scotland's the only country in the world where drink driving isn't a crime?)

ok fair play :)

And people say George W Bush is a moron..... :lol:

 

Phil is as gaffe-prone as Boris really innit.....

 

I think if I'd been an aborigine and he asked that question, I'd've replied.... "No, not at each other, just a at cheeky Royal b'astards who ask stupid questions....." :lol:

 

In all seriousness though, given all that, it's not really hard to see where Charlie and Harry get it from..... :rolleyes:

My particular favourite was how people were having a go at him for telling an overweight kid who wanted to be an astronaut had to loose a few pounds.

Well, giving the devil his due for that one instance, that's just a fact really..... :lol:

Is it necessary to lose weight, though? You're weightless in Space! :mellow:

You ever see a fat astronaut.....? :P :lol:

 

I think people are too hyper sensitive nowdays as everything is deemed racist.

 

OK, Harry made a mistake but he was only a young lad at the time. Thats usually typical behaviour for someone that age. It's not as if he went up to someone in the street and called them that?

 

As long as the N word and P word aren't used towards Black and Asian people face to face and is said in private then it's fine.

You knowwww what......I kind of agree with Grimly now. Especially the point he made about the guy not being able to say anything back due to him being a royal. We were discussing it in our Law class and I was getting annoyed about literally EVERYONE (bar my trio lol) using the argument "HE'S JUST A NORMAL, EVERYDAY GUY"....that's the one...the subject of Royalty doesn't come into it at all hah.

 

And it's not typical behaviour (I'm being so contradictive here, admittedly). I know I mentioned students that say it, but, tbh all those students are Asian so it's kind of the whole "it's okay for people of that ethnicity to use it, but not (mainly) whites" issue. I mean I have some pretty close Asian friends I've known for YEARS and it'd never cross my mind to say "Heyyy my P--- baby gurrrl" or anything hah.

 

Grimly's right tbf. I still think it should kind of be left alone now though.

Sorry, but this post makes no logical sense at all.... For a start, the P-word is not offensive "nowadays", it has ALWAYS been offensive ever since the NF and skinheads started using it in the 70s.... No offence, but you're clearly too young to understand this fact, and you've never seen Asian peoples' homes or businesses being spraypainted with the word "P@ki" and having bags of dogsh!t put through their letterboxes with notes saying "eff off P@ki"..... Hypersensitive....? Dont be so bloody daft mate....

 

If I sound tetchy, well, it's because I've already replied to this very point made by another poster (Simon), and you clearly took no notice of it....

 

Also, Harry DID say the word to the Asian chap's (sleeping) face...... So, it was surreptitious and it wasn't as if the guy could reply to it.... BECAUSE HE WAS SLEEPING..... :lol:

 

God, why fukk is it that so many people out there continue to bum the bloody Royals.....? If this was some MP saying this to a constituent, we would NOT be making excuses for them, end of.... Therefore, it's double standards....

 

Grimly's right tbf. I still think it should kind of be left alone now though.

 

Thanks for the support.... But I'm very much unsure of "leaving it alone" tbh.... I mean, sorry, but we DID give Harry the benefit of the doubt over the whole "dressing as a Nazi" thing... I mean, yeah, once can be considered youthful folly, but twice, three times.....? Especially when he knew it caused a bit of sh"t in the first place... Just how much longer are we supposed to "leave it alone" for......? When he meets Barack Obama and says "Yo, Barack my n****, whuzzappenin'"...... :rolleyes:
