Why the hoo ha about Prince Harry calling a collegue a, 'Paki'. Surely, Paki' is an abreviation of Pakistani. Do I get offended by someone calling me a, Brit'?

I get a lot of Google searches from people searching for "Does Prince Harry have ginger pubes?"
Serious discussion about the nature of language and it's roll in racism, and you bring it down to the level of the Royal Pubic Pigment.
From what I've read, it wasn't an offensive attack, but a friendly nickname for a friend. Really, if he wasn't famous, would it matter? What people call each other in their friendships is their business.
But I wouldn't be offended if someone called me a Brit, either :)
It seems perfectly acceptable for the media to call French people "frogs" and nobody bats an eyelid! Obviously some people believe that they are beyond criticism of any sort.
Fewclewz...........
There should be some sort of "understanding" to leave the two Princes alone to be 'normal' blokes when they are working in/with the Military. For Christs sake these 'do gooders' have a serious lack of a sense of humour, and in my mind, should have been identified, and fucked and burned at birth! What a waste of skin these miserable little shit-bags are. Fancy thinking that people risking their lives in military service, only ever speak in a "Politically correct" manner!
It's about time these self appointed Ministers of Correctness fall off their imaginary Great White Chargers, and learn to live at least somewhere NEAR the real world!
Yeah, that's what I thought...he is just talking the way everyone does in the army...he was just dumb to film himself. Better to be like that than a wierdo like Prince Charles who talks to plants!
This reminds me that there is no such thing as equality. Its all very confusing. I had a hell of time figuring out the nappy headed ho's thing - being from Australia I thought he was talking about wearing a diaper on their heads or something which struck me as odd - and odd that people would be so mad about it. But then again it took me awhile for me to figure out that americans didn't eat Jello on sandwiches with their PB. Cause I was wondering how they kept it from falling off. Hahaha. I was called gaijin and gwilo my whole life growing up and never thought twice about it.
after frobisher published that one picture of harry and his third leg i tend not to pay attention to what goes on much higher.
Firstly, I'd like to appologise for my absence. This was due to an evil pixie within my computer ensamble.
Eroswings- That's the balanced view ordinary people seem to have taken.
Frobisher- Of course when the press do it, it's called, 'harmless banter'.
Fewclewz- Further to your rant, I'd like to point out that even if he had said something racist, one has to take into account that killing foriegners is the military's, 'Raison d'être'.
Emmak- Don't listen to the nasty woman my pretty begonia.....Er yes talking to plants.....totally wierd.
Qchique- Here in Blighty, we don't even know what Jello is except that on some American shows we hear that skantily clad women wrestle each other in it.
FN- Ah yes... the Royal Triffid.
Obviously you are made of much sterner stuffing.
I should think that Lord Mountbatten-the-hatches will be rolling in his bloody grave..
My Word!
As a trivial aside to the speculation regarding the color of Prince Harry's short and curlies, methinks the other term he used (raghead) would be considered much more incendiary. I understand, however, that the word paki is usually used in a derogatory manner to describe people of middle eastern descent. If we are talking about the same incident.
