Whether or not Harry is a racist is about as significant as the royal family themselves. (If you believe the British monarchy to be significant you need to get yourself a sense of perspective- columns in newspapers are irrelevant, as you know). An Eton boy feeling ethnically superior to all kinds of men who are not white, upper class, or male should not be, and isn't, very surprising. Because of his high status Harry, in spite of being a ridiculous ignorant pomp much like his father (the one with the red hair rather than big ears), is taking the brunt for a much wider issue. And whereas he has rightly, sincerely or not, apologised for his racism the army has not. It is the armies' institutionalised racism which is significant.
"Our little paki friend" and not just Prince Harry's.
