PRINCE HARRY : AN UNJUSTIFIED UPROAR !

We are told that to call a western oriental gentleman "paki", is a racist insult.

This can sometimes true; it all depends on the context in which it is uttered.

In this particular case, the accusation against Prince HARRY, is, in my opinion, totally unjustified.

His comment, while he was filming, :"ah ! our young paki friend !", may have been somewhat patronizing; it was never intended to be insulting.

He said it, in his usual light-hearted way -which perhaps doesn't always befit a member of the Royal family.

If I were to reproach him for anything, it would be that he sometimes tries a little too hard, to be one of the boys...
