Prince Charles Thinks Nothing Is Wrong With Calling His Dark-Skinned Asian Friend "Sooty"!

There is a new controversy boiling in England because of some members of the Royal family. First,Prince Harry made racist comments about a Pakistani man. Now it has been revealed that Prince Charles has given his South Asian friend the nickname "Sooty". That would be the equivalent of a white person calling someone "darkie" as a term of endearment. Do they have antiquated views of race or what? I would be insulted,but Prince Charles's friend finds nothing wrong with it. Here's more from the Telegraph:

"The Daily Telegraph's Mandrake column disclosed that both the Prince and his two sons always referred to him as Sooty whenever they meet. That led to further criticism from anti-racism groups following the disclosure at the weekend that Prince Harry had once referred to a former Army colleague as a 'Paki'.

However, in a statement Mr Dhillon insisted he regarded the Sooty nickname as a "term of affection".

"I have to say, you know you have arrived when you acquire a nickname!" he said.

"I enjoy being called Sooty by my friends who I am sure universally use the name as a term of affection with no offence meant or felt. The Prince of Wales is a man of zero prejudice and both of his sons have always been most respectful."

Mr Dhillon, who lives on an 700-acre farm with two adjoining polo fields close to the Prince's Highgrove estate, is one of the leading figures in the Cirencester club, which is the oldest in the country. His son Satnam, 31, who has played polo for England, helps run the family property business. Mr Dhillon and his wife Jacqueline have been regular guests at Highgrove.

The Prince of Wales had been branded "out of touch" for using the Sooty nickname, which could be understood to refer to Mr Dhillon's skin colour. But Clarence House dismissed any suggestion that the Prince of Wales, the most committed member of the Royal family to forging close links with the ethnic communities, was being either offensive or racist."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the whole article here:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/theroyalfamily/4229692/Prince-Charless-friend-Sooty-says-Royal-is-not-a-racist.html

I'm sorry,guys,but Prince Harry appears to be a racist to me.He dressed up as a Nazi for Halloween before. Now he's calling other British citizens "Pakis" & "ragheads"! That's absolutely appalling because it was a candid moment for him.I'm sure he never thought that tape would be released internationally.If you look at this video,you will see how painful those racist expressions are to Muslims & Asians.There's nothing lighthearted about calling a dark-skinned Asian "Sooty". No matter what Mr. Dhillon says that is unacceptable in my view!
