""So are 'Pakie', 'Towelhead, 'Sooty' and 'Fuzzy-Wuzzie' terms of racist abuse? - we'll never know, I suppose!"

Only when 'ordinary' people use them. ""


Strangely enough Rosie, the exact opposite!!

Do you really believe that the News of the World would have published the same story if it had been you or I that made the comment?

It is the very fact of Harry's celebrity that made a story out of nothing, in order to increase sales of the dirty rag.

And incidentally, Charles' polo team mate is nicknamed "Sooty" because his name is Suttish (uncertain of exact spelling), and has nothing to do with his skin hue. But of course that wouldn't fit with Jim's perception of Charles as racist, so he conveniently ignores it.

Don't be fooled by those who "protest too much". They have their own bigotries.
