Prince Harry To Get Race Equality Lessons

Army Reprimands Royal Over Taped Comment Using Racial Slur, Just As New Scandal Emerges

(CBS)  This story was written by CBS News correspondent Sheila MacVicar.

The now-infamous video shot and narrated by Britain's Prince Harry in 2006, in which he's heard referring to an Asian fellow soldier as "our little Paki friend," has led to a reprimand from his commanders in the Army.

They called him onto the carpet for what's euphemistically called "an interview without coffee" - a supposedly stern talking to.

The Prince has been ordered to attend a racial equality and diversity course, for the second time.

Just as well, because yet another tale of a stupid and racist remark from Harry surfaced this week.

British comedian Stephen K. Amos has told a British national TV audience that, following a performance last fall for the Prince of Wales' birthday, Harry said, "You don't sound like a black chap."

Amos said he wanted to ask him how the Prince thought he should sound.

"We all need to mix a bit more. It's about integration really," said Colleen Harris, former press secretary to the Prince of Wales. "If people are not mixing with people from other backgrounds and cultures, you get these sorts of things happening."

Perhaps it would also help, if in addition to "mixing more," the Prince learned to think before opening his mouth.

It was likely a thoughtless comment. In the U.S. as a general rule, however, due to slight differences in pronunciation and differences in tonal inflection, it is generally possible to tell if a speaker is of African origin, just as it is possible to tell the difference between a person''s voice from Indonesia and Greenland. It''s especially noticeable if from a different dialect, such a New Yorker versus a Chicagoan or a Texan and a Louisianan.

How many times while listening to a program can you tell when a ''black chap'' is speaking? Probably more times than not. Perhaps we shud have all ''white chaps'' take a rap or hip hop speech class so we can''t tell them from the ''black chaps''. Or why don''t the ''black chaps'' learn to speak the language? Just asking...don''t be hatin''.

He should. The dummass white cracker.

I haven''t checked Harry''s birthdate, but perhaps he is a Sagittarian like me. I find myself apologizing for having Foot In Mouth Disease. Typical FIMD remark: "I love your hairstyle today. I just saw an actress in a 1940''s movie with the same style."

His remark seems rude, but it was relatively harmless and mostly thoughtless.

That''s the army, British Army, US Army, that is what goes on in every Army and Navy. It was when I was in the Army, it was when George Washington was in the army and it will still be that way when George Jetson is in the army.

What happened to the Iranian prisoners this time around was the same thing that happened to Viet Cong prisoners in my time.

It is a system wide problem and always has been. Harry is being singled out because her is a celebrity that got caught saying something that someone would pay money to hear. I am sure that there are plenty of videoes being sent home to families that contain the same kind of stuff. (That''s how Abu Grabe go exposed.)

I am not saying that Hary should not be sat down and given a good talking to, but not alone in a room. It should be in a stadium along with the rest of the army.

This is unreal, when did we become so fricken wimpy you can''t say a fricken thing anymore, unless you are a minority then you can say whatever you want about whites. And yes rushlimpdrug, blacks are some of the biggest racists in the world.

Perhaps the folks who arrange such thing can also arrange some SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND GO AWAY LESSONS for the entire ROYAL FAMILY.

The world is sick of ROYALS!
