harry remarks...

[whattheheck]

With all the coverage of Prince Harry's '****' (short for Pakistani) 'racist' remarks, I was just wonderin' if the term 'Brit' (short for British) or 'Scot' (short for Scottish) or any shortening of a persons race for that matter is classed as racist too,or is it all just 'one way' ?.
Any thoughts ?.

In company (and context) that makes it unoffensive to them, and any others that may hear it.
e.g. A couple of weeks ago I joking called a mate a 'bit of a tw*t' on the street for attempting to nudge me into a lampost only to realise there was a lady coming out of her drive right next to me who heard. The same word and the same context becomes offensive in different company, so I apologised to her for being stupidly crass.

With racist words, your company and context is far narrower, the narrowest it could possibly be. To say something like that on film indicates a remarkable misunderstanding of what is and isn't acceptable. I would never use the word 'P*ki' in anything other than a situation where I was pouring scornful humour on the idiots who would use it casually.

Any pak1 worth his salt should be proud of his origins. ' Pak1 rules' was emblazoned at a cricket match with indians.

Only in UK do pak1's object as they wanna be known from where they're born, ie Scots, Brits, Taffs etc.

Mel Platell of DM was called a pak1 mistaken her name to be pakistani.......she was amused rather than upset.

Have heard negr0s call each other n1gger but uproar prior to compensation claims if same comes from arian mouth.
