Those of you who are relating this to what you consider silly nicknames, etc. in your own lives, don't get it. Regardless of whether Harry and friends are used to using such "banter" he IS a public figure and held to higher standards of conduct, or should be, for the example he sets. Also, the things you have all cited, could be changed. A person's skin colour cannot be changed and what one is called applies to the whole community of whichever minority is being denigrated. The Baldy Bastard scenario was a good explanation of this. Institutionalised, low-level racism is alive and well and there are those of us who will speak out no matter the times you may castigate us for being too PC (that's another term which has been co-opted by the Far Right and made to sound dirty. Fuck them! Like Rick Fielding said, there is such a thing as "Ethically Conscious" and it harms none to be so.)
