Subject: RE: BS: Prince Harry - What a star!
So I guess my daughter's friend should just laugh it off every time one of her "friends" calls her a Paki. After all, she doesn't want to be mistaken for someone who seeks to find offence in virtually everything she sees and hears. She needs to learn to distinguish between banter and something that is meant in a nasty way - even if the banter makes her feel like shit. She should just keep quiet about it, and certainly not be tempted to tell her parents, or a teacher, that she's regularly being called a racist name by other students.

Right?
