Prince Harry Apologizes For ‘Racist’ Remark

big deal, ****!

wow, jared. we can’t type p_a_k_i,but youself can? what a f.. c…!

palvasha, white people don’t u u guys. suck it or else go back where u from. no 1 forces u to stay.

I don’t really see the big deal either, but okay he said sorry - - either you accept it or you don’t. Move on.

He didn’t mean it as racist, it was a private moment that was leaked and he didn’t say it publicly. People are just too easily offended.

just cos ur racist in private dnt make it any right.

#12, don’t feel like you have to defend yourself. other people who say it isn’t a ‘big deal’ are just being extremely ignorant bigots. I feel sorry for you people who are totally oblivious to differences.

And for you idiots out there who can’t figure out a comparison…using **** for Pakistan is like using **** for Japanese back during Pear Harbor days. We are in a new global age, and of all people– Prince Harry who’s on a royal pedestal SHOULD know better. Even his mother, Diana, who was a humanitarian- wouldn’t approve of such ignorance.

Racism = turn off

No.1 is going a little nuts about the whole sitch… I mean of course people in the U.S. don’t fully understand the strength of the word (compare it to the deadly ‘N’ word if you may). Saying the ..P.. word is just the same.

Still it was a ‘private’ joke a very long time ago, he’s human, he made a mistake. He did loads of crazy stuff back then. Who are we to judge, the world is a crappy place and we all are walking on egg shells to make people feel better constantly.

LET’S TAKE A POLL…………….WHO ARE THE MOST RACIST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD……………WHITE FOLKS

I have no idea what a bunch of bad stuff that kid must have gone through to end up being so close minded even if he had the chance to travel and learn about other cultures. Yes he’s a racist but why?, what kind of things did he hear that led him to believe dressing up as Hitler for Halloween was awesome?.

Even I, who was almost deported from a UK airport by an Indian woman who insisted I wasn’t there as a student but to get married, have to say that Palvasha is right, some countries drain and destroy but expect to have no consequences out of it. The whole of GB and Prince Harry should actually be thankful most of those immigrants just want to work and not revenge.

thank you those for speaking up about racism. For the others, ignorance is a bliss.

The royal family has a history of racism. I am not just talking about his “Nazi” outift in 2005, but the royal family were long time supporters of Hilter and the Klan.

thanks for those who agree with me that this is a serious matter. but no matter what some stupid white people say i wont say i hate all white people and as a muslim i have been told to respect all colors that god has given to all the human kinds. IF YOU PEAL THE SKIN OF ANY COLORED PERSON, AND CUT THEM, YOU WILL SEE SAME HEART, SAME BLOOD, SAME FEELING AND SAME SOUL. SO NO MATTER WHAT I CANT HATE ANYONE COS IM A MUSLIM. LOV U ALL

palvasha,

You should apologize for calling the white people “stupid”. If you are so smart, stop the bloody fighting in your country and build it into a prosperous one. And you say you don’t hate? Hypocrite!

–

I don’t agree with you. Let see what you’ll call me.

The whole family are racist pigs.

The USA has come along way - electing Barack Obama as the next President. The UK on the other hand has a LONG way to go. Its an extremely racist place and this just goes to show you how racism is not dead at all. The term in question here is just as derogatory as the ‘n’ word. It has the same effect on the people that its directed towards. For those of you who do not think its a big deal, then you are very mistaken. Its hurtful and its just plain ignorant. You would think you could expect more from someone in the royal family and someone whose mother was so compassionate but unfortunately Harry just keeps on showing his lack of intelligence, tolerance and how completely indifferent he is to the world around him.

You people are such hypocrits!! Your bashing him for using racist terms while at the same time making judgement on him based on his family and upbringing. As well as judging people on this forum based on race!! ie stupid white people. Total double standard.

You have to feel for the guy. I’m sure everyone here has made a racial joke at some point in their lives when they were among friends. Not meant to be serious but just as a joke. This guy is no different.

Remember the circumstances it was said under. It was said in private with a group of his friends who were probably all saying the same sorts of things. He may be a member of the royal family but that doesn’t mean he’s still not an average person. Cut away his skin and blah blah blah and you’ll still find the same heart as everyone else, pavlasha. He didn’t act any differently than anyone else would in the same situation.

To Voe….the reason why its a big deal is because of the deep rooted history of racism. Yes, people say bad things about white people but the difference is white people haven’t had centuries of racism against them - black people and others have. I’m not saying that it makes it right to be racist against white people but there is a huge difference between the kinds of racism.
The problem is that someone like Harry who has had as much education as he has shouldn’t be throwing around a term like that at all. Not only does it show how ignorant he is, it also shows how his apology for the Nazi costume was not sincere because here he is yet again, being racist. His handlers and ‘royal spokesmen’ are the ones who are making the apologies - not Harry himself. He should be ashamed of himself.

I don’t know everything that Prince Harry has done or said, but what he said here was incredibly stupid. I don’t know whether he is really a racist or not, but racism is horrible and awful and I wish it didn’t exist.

And I can’t believe some people that say that this is not a big deal. Well, maybe not to you because you’re not offended by it, but what about everyone from countries like Pakistan or India? It’s a big deal to them, and I understand that. I’m not from anywhere near these places, but I find it offensive too! Not to me personally, but just to people in general.

If Harry was really just making a private joke to someone that didn’t mind, then no, this wasn’t a very big deal. But the word “****” is still insulting, and then for people to say THAT is no big deal - well, that’s different.

People can be so stupid that I sometimes don’t know whether to laugh at their ignorance, or cry at their cruelty.

But so many people that are offended do the exact same thing. I mean, a lot of you got upset with Prince Harry for what he said, then starting bad-mouthing ALL white people. THAT was offensive to me.
What he said was really stupid and maybe he is a racist, but that doesn’t make ME, or my family or anybody I know racists as well.

I realise this was offensive to you and I understand that, but please don’t accuse all white people of being racists because of what HE said.
There are racists everywhere, from every corner of the world. White people, black people, Latin Americans, Asians etc. There are racists everywhere, no matter which country of what religion or “colour”.
So don’t blame everyone because of what one person said, because then you’re just as bad as that person.

Racism is rooted in economic parity. If a rich white jokes about a poor white, it’s ok. A rich black can sell poor black into slavery, made a black child kill his mother then a soldier on a war against other black people, it’s ok. A yellow rich can kick a poor yellow then laugh, it’s ok. But God forbid, a different color person can’t do the same. Is it bad? Yes and no. Yes from the angle of human’s decency, but no because it is hypocritical to target one group, even if this group hasn’t experienced much racism.
–
Education has nothing to do with decency because values are family based first, region second, ethnic or country fourth depending on how big a country is and the make-up of ethnic groups in its population. One simply can not expect the neighbor to share exact value, and can’t demand others to always yield to his/her own value.

By the way, when I said “it’s ok” I meant that to the race addressed in the sentence.

If he was walking down the street calling people this then it would be a big deal. Look at the sitauation he was in. He was in a war/battle sitautation. That is a lot different than your normal day to day business. Look at firmen, policemen, docotors the “black humor” they use. This is the same situation. Military “black humor”. It happens folks get over it. Those who stand up and shout racism all the time are the biggest racist around…

Big Deal!!! **** is Rag head……

This stupid red face cheese b*tch
Stupid title and no f*cking neurones, marijuana must burn them
He should think twice before say anything

what an *******.

ok,my first comment wasn’t posted before, so I’ll post again. In my opinion, Henry is not a racist, he just has really poor education, I mean, look at the video and you’ll understand he is just joking, probably he even doesn’t know the meaning of the word ‘pa*i’,….he needs to go back to school, education is really poor in England, I can tell you that, I live there and I happen to be a secondary school teracher, what else do you need,……

I think it’s telling that a “spokesperson” made the apology and not Harry himself.

Clearly, the Palace thinks Harry is too much of a nitwit to speak for himself, so they have a paid spokesperson carefully write an apology for him.

Insincere rubbish. You have to wonder how the Palace can believe anyone would believe Harry is sorry.

What an over-privileged ignorant racist brat ! This even happened AFTER all the backlash he faced after his Nazi costume fiasco. Obviously, he did’nt learn anything from that and feels no remorse at all.

When Jane Goody behaved despicably on Big Brother, all the British media explained it as a class based jealousy thing, and that she was racist because she was uneducated and poor, but Harry is at the opposite end of the spectrum, so what’s their excuse now??

What’s more pathetic are the people making excuses for his disgusting behaviour. People are acting like it was just a slip of tongue, a casual mistake. It’s not.

Proof once again that wealth and access to the best educators will not prevent a person from being an insensitive idiot and a race-hater.

That kind of nonsense starts at home and can be stopped at home-if the adults don’t expouse those views.

People should not be surprised that he says these things. What is sad is the soldier of Pakistani descent that is the target of these racial slurs. This person can’t very well slug this royal idiot or retaliate by giving Harry a good dressing down about his familys’ dirty laundry can he/she.

He did nothing that worth apology! So what if he called someone ****, BLAKIE, CHIG CHANG OR JEW!
Why is it SO OK for Jews, Africans, Asians………etc. to call white people names while white people GOD FORBID can’t speak their mind around them???? If anyone id racist then it is the people who get offended by whatever other race is saying about them, if you are so proud of your race then whatever you hear should never offend you in any way!

well im not white and not from this country, i came here when i was 12 and couldnt speak a word of english, and missed all primary school and i got AAB in my a-level and he is from this country, got top-notch education, whent to school all his life and he is FROM THE ROYAL FAMILY ….sorry to shout, lol, and he only did two a-levels in which he got B and D. so yeh it explains his behaviour, he probably spends the whole day playing with his toys and crying over all the attention his older brother gets which is why he has no clue abt life and people ouside britain and does know that P-A-K-I IS NOT SLANG AND DEEPLY OFFENDS PEOPLE JUST LIKE HIS UNIFORM OFFENDED JEWS AND JUST LIKE BEING CALLED THE N-WORD. ALL U PEOPLE HERE SAYING ITS NOT BIG DEAL SAY THIS COS U R NOT PAKISTANI AND U HAVE NOT BEEN BULLIED IN SCHOOLS WITH THAT NAME AND SO U HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY ITS NOT BIG DEAL

oh perleez! its was 3 years ago! everyone has said things they shouldnt when with their friends! just let it go!

I believe prince Harry is racist, my friend was serving with him as army bodyguard and many times he heard prince Harry use racist terms against Muslims.

How come this boy turned out to be so stupid and racist? Does it take much for an American child to know that N word is not good to utter in anger or in jest. Three years ago he was about 18 he should have known right from wrong. Shame on the whole royal family..

Harry is a racist, he wore a Nazi costume to a party, and shocked everyone.

Diana would disapprove of racist son.

EW he’s ugly.

live and let live, i think thats up to britain dont you? they are really good heads of state despite what has been said, they hardly ever get a foot wrong and are often only in the papers if something wrong has happend, other countries do not see what good they do, take a look on the internet about what the princes trust does…. this is really serious i agree but the uk and america even though we speak the same language we come from very different cultures…in britain we take the piss and call eachother what is scene as derogatory names but dont mean it that way, black people call white ‘milks’ vice versa, im not condoning what he said at all because it can be seen as a piss take remark but this is one of his m8s he called it and not in a bad way…you can bet your **** that it wasnt his m8 who let this slip, prob some twat who wanted the money….this was about 6 years ago, hes grown up…how about you concentrate on all the really brilliant things he has done….he’s a prince but he is also human…get over it.

SAM, harry wore that nazi outfit coz he was taking the piss, the german nazis tryd to take over britain but didnt succeed even though we are a tiny country…plus why not, the nazis are a disgusting group of killers, and are true racists…. look at what they did to jews…..get some humour!

He doesn’t look anything like Prince Charles or any of Prince Charles’ side of the family. He looks like one of the men Princess Diana had an affair with, IMO. I think he should STFU because someone asks him to take a DNA test.

Apologize all you want you are still sh*t and you dont deserve to be a prince. your mind is of a terrorist you bigot pig!

anita greencard u make no sense? sorry? i dont get ur point. u say im right then go on to say things i disagree with?

make sense woman!!!

anyway abt ur point that the war ina fghanistan killed that many soldeirs, well times that by like a million and ul find the number of innocent poeple that those fuking soldiers have killing, they bomb wedding and target children so *** those soldiers i pray evryday that millon of those soldiers die and i dnt give a **** abt them.

i dnt wish death for americans and innocent peopel but those soldiers can fall dead like flies cos they kill innocent people and r fighting in fake war.

You have the nerve to lump a group of people together based on their skin colour and make degrading generalisations about them but get all high and mighty about racism? Go get an education you hypocrite.

I don’t think Harry was intending to be racist or insulting when he used the word ‘****’ - Sometimes people adopt a nickname for themselves which is traditionally insulting (like ‘nigga’ or ‘wog’) as it takes the sting out of the word and renders it ineffective.

However, there is no excuse in his second racial slur as I do think that was mean’t to be (and is) offensive towards middle eastern people.

HI BESS, I AGREE WITH U THAT WISHING DEATH ON PEOPLE IS WRONG, BUT I KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AFGHANISTAN, I KNOW FAMILIES THAT HAVE BEEN KIILED AND I KNOW SOLDIERS THAT DO REAL HORRIBLE THINGS TO INNOCENT PEOPEL AND CHILDREN. HOW CAN U BE FORCED INTO IT, DID U WANTCHED THE VIDS FROM THE IRAQI PRISONS AND WHAT THE ARMY WERE DOING TO THOSE PRISONERS, WAS THAT FORCE? FNT THINK SO. I DNT WISH HATE ON ANY AMERICAN OR ANTPERSON BUT THOSE SOLDIERS I REALLY DNT CARE ABT THEM, LIKE I SAID THEY CAN FALL DEAD LIKE FLYS.

ALSO U CAN KILL THAT MANY PEOPLE FOR ONE ATTACK ON THE TWINN TOWERS. THERE R OTHER WAYS TO STOP IT. AND WHO EVEN BELIEVES THAT OTHER PEOPLE DID THOSE ATTACKS, IT MIGHT BE TRUE THAT IS WAS BUSH HIMSELF THAT DID IT.

ANYWAY IM NOT A HORRIBLE PERSON AND I LOVE ALL PEOPEL WHICH IS Y I HAVE SO MUCH HATE FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE, WHETHER THEY R TERRORISTS OR AMERICAN AND OTHER SOLDEIRS, WHO I SEE AS TERROROST ASWELL.
