No-one has yet interviewed the lad in question. The only comment came from his uncle, who said that he found it offensive.
It was bad manners. Private or not, he was using language that he must know would cause offence. Say if the Pakistani lad laughed, turned around and called Harry 'Hewitt's Boy'?
It's so much different when your the butt of the joke.
And would Harry had said that if the team were 80% Pakistani? Nah...he wouldn't have.
To be honest, I don't have an issue with Harry. He's a product of his environment - a rich party ligger with not a great deal of common sense (even when I was a wee lad, I never once thought of going to a fancy dress party as a Nazi).
My problem is with this weird attitude that P*ki is somehow an affectionate term.
Possibly in the same way that c***, tart and bird are affectionate terms for women?

if the Pakistani in question had been offended, he'd have been in no position to say so. That's the trouble with being in a minority; you may feel unable to tell a fellow soldier - and in line for the throne - that he's being foulmouthed. And that's why those in the majority shouldn't use abusive terms against them.
That said, it was three years ago; he may - perhaps - have learnt some manners since then, so I' m not personally inclined to get too hot under the collar about it, and perhaps why HatlessJack doesn't mind his sniggering remarks about 'queers'..

His uncle (I thought it was his father) has found it offensive - he wouldn't have even been aware of it until this video was released!
If someone had called my offspring or nephew an offensive name three years ago at a private gathering and I just found out about it I would keep my opinions to myself. If the young pakistani in question found it offensive then he should have said so at the time - especially if he is Army Officer material!!
The father/uncle is just jumping on the bandwagon of this whole moslem/racist thing in my opinion.

Looks like Harry's been stitched-up again by one of his so called public school mates, as they did with the Nazi photo! But at least he'd got the guts to say it to his face. I worked on a contract last year where a black guy was telling racist jokes! Very disconcerting for the majority of white blokes who were listening at the time.
Calling somebody black is not racist or rude, it's a fact. Some years ago when I was on a youth work course, I called a black woman coloured. Well, she really laid into me saying I'm not blue, red or pink, I'm black. After an hour or so of licking my wounds, I could see she was 100% correct...I never made that mistake again. Although she knew I was being polite.
Although I have mainly been on the opposite side of his arguments, I have always thought of sp1814 as being fairly intelligent.
That is of course until he took me to task for daring to criticise two large gangs of Black youths, who savagely gang raped two young school girls.
And now having read his posts on this subject especially his vulgar and slanderous statements regarding members of our Royal Family.I have been forced to come to the conclusion that he does not earn much respect for his own ethnicity. One could say scratch the surface......................
