Ive always had the opinion that your only ever truly friends with someone when you can take the piss out of each other.
The extremity of the piss taking being almost an exact measure of closeness, when a bunch of blokes can share racial insults in good spirit, they are truly blood brothers.
The prince incident could have just been a display of playful comradery which I am leant towards believing.
I agree, as much as it pains me to do so. I think he was over the line with the 'raghead' comment.

I really don't know why casual racism still manages to be funny.
I would argue that a racist joke can be funny because it is a funny joke... in other words, if the joke is clever and the internal logic of the humour is sound, then it can be funny... regardless of the subject matter.

i think all of it was over the line because of who he is. i know loads of people like this who are actually 'well sound' really, but i think he should take heed of the mistakes he's made before. i'm not at all offended by his conduct in that film but i can see why others would be. Currently he has the endearing persona of a lovable, hunky rebel* and black sheep, but as he gets older that'll pass and he'll look like a fool (see: duke of edinburgh).
*how gay is that?

Don't really care for Omid Djalili but Dave Chappelle is fucking hilarious. The first season of his show was classic.

That's a good point, actually. He is a fucking prince, after all. He seems like a total dickhead, and I certainly wouldn't want to be in his platoon or whatever. I bet he's shit as a soldier.

it doesn't matter that paki is just an abreviation. the inference, intent and context are what's important. it's perceived as offensive and therefore IS.
i'm not naive enough to think that casual racism isn't rife in many walks of life. high on the list would be the colonial upper class and millitary so this doesn't really come as a surprise. still doesn't make it acceptable or excusable.
and i don't give a fuck if they're being shot at. as far as i'm concerned anyone who volutarily signs up for active service forfeits the right to bitch about it or use it as an excuse for cockish behaviour.

how come its acceptable to call people afghani or iraqis but its not PC to call a pakistani a paki
your so wrong it hurts, the reason its unacceptable is because its used by ignorant people as a blanket term to describe anyone from india,pakistan,bangladesh or anywhere else in Southern Asia
its just good old

which is deemed acceptable because idiots still have the belief that before Britain 'normalised' half of the world they were all running around wearing cloths, with sticks in their hands.I have very close friends from Pakistan who would find it profoundly insulting if I was to call them paki' s even in the most endearing way.

I think the race discussion is pointless, I'm not shocked that he is racist.
I am shocked that he is so fucking stupid, to record himself saying those things is the most imbecilic thing i have ever heard.

Afterall, the Royal Family do turn a profit.
The French turn a greater profit from tourism than we do. Let's follow their example - nice beaches, good wine and food and decapitated aristocrats and royals.
