Prince Harry asked if his pubic hair is ginger

A video has been released by The News of the World containing racially sensitive comments by Prince Harry. In the video, Harry refers to an Asian squaddie as "our little Paki friend", whilst saying of another colleague "Fuck me, you look like a raghead".

Later in the video Harry is asked "Are your pubes ginger too?", to which he replies "Yes, they are".

Further investigation concludes it's likely all comments were light hearted and in no way meant to harm. However, response to this article has people questioning why the perceived prejudice against one group of people has more weight from that of another.
I do spot some hypocrisy here - at the end of the video a joke is made about Harry having ginger pubes. If it weren't for the overly PC 'anti-racist' nature of our country today both comments would carry equal weight and it wouldn't be an issue.
Loved the pubes comment. That could be seen as racist towards ginger people by the way, but no one seems to care about that...
I wonder how many people take the mickey outta him cause he's ginger .. same difference isn't it.
It's an interesting topic, especially when our "Is gingerism as bad as racism" poll currently shows most people think gingerism is as bad as racism.

You can find the original article with Prince Harry's video on The News of the World's website.
