Re: Prince Harry apologises for calling army colleague 'Paki'

seems like he is just goofing around, he even made fun of the Queen with that pretend phone call and saying 'God save you...'

Re: Prince Harry apologises for calling army colleague 'Paki'

My computer doesn't have sound, so I can't hear the video. I don't know the comments were made with the intent to ridicule. But if Prince Harry does harbor some sort of prejudice toward Pakistanis/Muslims...............I wonder if it is because his mother, Princess Diana, had an affair with Pakistani doctor, Hasnat Khan, as well Dodi Al-Fayed?

This prince seems to have a more wilder......more careless streak to his personality compared to his more tactful and cautious brother, Prince William. Interesting.

Zias, Zardaris and Musharrafs are all 'little Pakis' to their Western imperialist masters. Little paki is just another term for brown sahib.

Come now, the Paki remark was hardly offensive and I personally found it amusing that the prince has a close Pakistani friend.

We somehow forget he's just another kid letting loose with the guys. It would be a shame if our fundoos blew an innocent personal video out of proportion ... oops too late.

Re: Prince Harry apologises for calling army colleague 'Paki'

the comment was for a friend. what do others have to do with it?

Re: Prince Harry apologises for calling army colleague ‘Paki’

i also didnt find it offensive…that is why i said in the very first post…Had hai :smack:

Re: Prince Harry apologises for calling army colleague 'Paki'

Paki was race hate term in the Uk back in the 60s,70's,80's and 90's. It still is. Which is why for calling someone paki is an offence. Just like calling a black person the N word!!!

Re: Prince Harry apologises for calling army colleague 'Paki'

the guy that he called a paki was actually one of his close friends...so maybe he didnt mean to say it in a bad way...i mean still it isnt acceptable but personally i dont think he intended malice...

I was surprized too that the prince has a close pakistani fnd.Ahmed Raza Khan
it was jst 4 friend nothing more 2 say

Re: Prince Harry apologises for calling army colleague 'Paki'

The word Paki is a racist word, jus like the word N for black ppl is considered racist.....This guy shud be taught a gud lesson......but i am sure after like a week or so they wil jus forget it! How Sad.......

Their Old habit 2 4get as usual

Re: Prince Harry apologises for calling army colleague 'Paki'

^^^ In it!......news of the world jus wanted attention nd they gt it!..... now after a week no one wil even remeber this let alone talkin some actio against it! Pathetic People!

Re: Prince Harry apologises for calling army colleague 'Paki'

I do find it quite offensive coz its not like the ahmed guy could hear him and was in on the joke, he was actually referin to him as a paki.
which makes me think does he always refer to him as a "paki" even in front of other people.
I call myself a paki sometimes but only in front of pakistani people but i dont think any1 from any other ethnic background can refer to me as a paki, just like black people call each other the n word but they dont accept others callin them that.
Thats my view :)

Re: Prince Harry apologises for calling army colleague 'Paki'

^^^ Same as my view, i wud call me myself frnd paki sometime as a joke....but i wud never take someone else calin me a paki!

Even though if this person was jokin, than NoW shudnt ave broadcasted it! they r jus bunch of attention seekers!

Re: Prince Harry apologises for calling army colleague 'Paki'

Being a family friend i can tell you that the paps wouldnt stop hounding the guys uncle for an interview.

Papers have even offered the cadet money for "his side" of the story. But i think he (on the orders of the Pak Govt) has turned it down!!!!

Re: Prince Harry apologises for calling army colleague ‘Paki’

Lol… does people don’t have anything else to do … what was offensive in the video… his words was “my lilttle paki friend ahmed” … :hehe:

By the way they are at war … with some bunch of retarted’s known as Muslims. So better shut our mouths !

Re: Prince Harry apologises for calling army colleague 'Paki'

The word "paki" CAN surely be offensive in certain circumstances...but this hardly seemed to be one of those. Pakis call each other paki all the time. Friends of pakis who are not themselves paki...use that word without offense. It goes the same way with the "N" word. African americans call each other that incessantly. And their non-Afr. Am. friends are welcome to use that term too when addressing each other (as in "wassup my N-word" etc).

The house of Windsor has always seemed to me to be very friendly with the Pakistani population (maybe because of Diana who ws a great friend of Pakistan even before her romance with the doc and Dodi._

I felt sorry for the guy. As one of the embattled palace spokespeople explained, he was acting as a soldier amongst fellow soldiers, forgetting that the rest of the world never sees him in THAT light, they see him as a prince. So as much as he would like to be "one of the guys", it can never be.

Re: Prince Harry apologises for calling army colleague 'Paki'

I feel sorry for him but the thing that gets me is that he referred to him as "our little paki friend" even though ahmed could not hear him, if he could hear him then i probably would not have been offended.
I dont think he is racist but it was not appropriate for him to say that.

You can shut your mouth like a coward, if you so choose. But don't push your cowardly views on us. Glad to see you choose sides with rapists and genocidal killers.
