Yep. So say we all.

I don't like the term Paki, especially since a pretty disturbed 5 year old that I teach (from the inner city flats) told me that he goes to *the Paki shop* with his teenaged uncle.. :eek:

I told my boyfriend and he said Paki is an ok term and not racist. Surely just shortened, like callling an Australian an Aussie.

Is "Aussie" a racist term??

On topic: Old news, friends messing about, no big deal. Prince Philip has been racist for years. Harry is the only royal I like, he's nyom and that Nazi thing WAS funny!

If a loylist f**k called me a Paddy, I'd want to kill the f**ker. If a mate called me a paddy, I'd call them Polish (non-polish eastern europeans hate being called polish), and ask does he want another beer

Contect is the rule of the game.

It's like the n word. A black man can call his friend a n****r, but if his black enemy called him a n****r, he may be offended by it.

Why would his opinion or comment matter?

WoollyRedHat · 11-01-2009 02:10AM

Tbh, I am offended, but because he called him little. This is degrading to Dwarfs, but where's their headline?

I'd have never thought of "Paki" as being a racist term, kinda like calling us "Irish" - no?.

Why? Do you use it?

Paki is a racist term, it's used by racists to insult Pakistanis. The fact it shares some letters with the words Pakistan is irrelevant. Niger and Nigeria share some letters with the "N-word".

Pretty much the way I seen it. Depends on the way the person uses it. If they say it normally then I don't see the problem, if they say it with aggression and contempt then it's a different story.

Would you call somebody a "nig*er" joking with them?

Because if a Loyalist said it they would be implying the person is inferior as they're a Paddy. I think the_syco hit the nail on the head with that post.

AZAD Kashmir ?????? Is this Indian kashmir one or PAKI kashmir ?

Its the Pakistani one.

Also, as pointed out "Paki" is a racist term. Why you choose to use it in this instance is puzzling.

Anyway, the guy apologized, so it really should be dropped. Still the Prince was pretty dumb saying what he said. The guy should have enough common sense to know that in his position, this stuff will bite him in the ass.

Hey wes, interested to know if you think Harry was being racist? and do you think most people of South Asian descent would be offended if they knew the context it was said in?

I think they'd be offended if one of the British royal family was calling someone a term used by racists to denigrate them, no matter what the context.

You don't have to be any colour to be offended by racism. The fact you think you do is the problem.

I think it was a bunch of lads taking the piss. I don't think he is racist. Now, he is a bit of an idiot, he should know better considering he is a prince and stuff like this is tabloid gold. Still the term is racist and he would know that, so I really have no idea why he would say it. He should have known better.

I reckon the younger generation would get it in context. Also, even if they didn't they probably wouldn't care.

The older generation who would have been called "Paki" in the streets, wouldn't see the difference. They will be offended.

Of course I could be wrong on this and people may very well be offended.

Harry was in Afghanistan and he didn't go there to cut ribbons or collect flowers. He's in a war, in a desert, looking over his shoulder, Shame on the News of the World.Most of those reporters including Sky news who are as newsworthy as a 'pick me up' magazine use derogatory terms if not overtly they're certainly thinking what Harry was saying.It's hypocritical and who cares in times such as these with world wars and a global economic depression. Cop on media

I agree, His Majesty Prince Harry should be free from such nuisances as having the media reporting on his casually racist jokes, especially seeing as he's helping kill foreigners in Afghanistan.

sukikettle · 11-01-2009 03:39AM

He wasn't engaged in friendly fire and he was saying no more than his comrades.It was obvious he was comfortable enough to say it indicating other culprits. He was wrong but let's get our priorities straight and sarcasm too

HarryPalmer · 11-01-2009 03:56AM

WTF are the Irish doing commenting on some Brit parasite? It is the /English/ royal family, and that has /nothing/ to do with Ireland. Some cop-on, lads.

How could anyone not know it's a racist term? Anyway Harry is just an idiot, like his father and grandfather (Prince 'foot-in-mouth' Philip).

Considering his father was the butler what has Prince Philip got to do with it??

I'll start the action on Monday, when I am sober. You like a Brit royal? Take a shower and say Our Father three times. Skanky.

That's my girl. Looks good on you.

So how staunchly Irish are you Harry. I'm a highly regarded nutter in here and not one to be seen fraternising with. I also carry the dubious title of headbanger but no one has labelled me Irish til you Harry

Very staunchly. Folks moved to England in the late seventies, and I was put in hospital several time because I had an Irish accent - back in the days when Kerrygold was renamed so that the Brits would buy it. Some ****er stole the accent, though, and the filth were no use at all.

Local-womanizer · 11-01-2009 05:37AM

I am not racist,but I find it difficult to see how "Paki" is a racist slur compared to other racist terms that I wont mention on here.

Other racist terms usually genralize about a etnic group.You could be called worst things imo.Just my opinion though....

A racist Royal?..... No way!!!
