Fresh Royal racism row: The Indian polo pal Charles, William and Harry call 'Sooty'
By Amar Singh

Royal attitudes to race came under fire again today when it was reported that the Prince of Wales and princes William and Harry refer 'affectionately' to an Indian family friend as 'Sooty'.
Kolin Dhillon is a member of the Cirencester Polo Club along with the three royals.
According to other members of the club, 'Sooty" is 'an affectionate nickname' to which Dhillon does not take offence.............
i live in london and it seems the you can hardly say anyhting to anyone about race. its just a minefield.....
best to play dumb. if i see an african and we get talking i never ask where they are form..... if they mention africa i say...."what you are from africa.... reallly? i thought you were british oh wow...."
i never use the world "black" "negro" "african" etc etc. if you call someone black who is actually black someoen will point out hwo rude you are and say.... how dare you point out to that man that they are black.... totally unforgivable.
similar with idnians and pakistanis
similar with the "poor" arabs..... lebanese palestinains egyptians syrians.
the rich arabs: dubai, kuwaitt, saudi, oman, etc.... i think you can say anythign to them or about them. it wont result in a bashing or a discrimination case against you but they will probably never give you job.
you can call a white perosn a "cracker", "whitey face", "no pigment fool" a "pom" and it is no problem at all.
it all ocmes down to how big o fa chip on your sholders you have. and some minorities have a very big chip indeed
World is changing from the Uncle Tom's Cabin days and now we got an Afro American President in USA (Does any one now dare to call him a Negro which was so common only few years back) .

Our pet dog is called Sooty and he's Black!!
The Stop the War Coalition today accused Prince Harry of being “arrogant and insensitive” after he admitted killing insurgents in Afghanistan.
In a series of interviews to mark the end of his service in Afghanistan, Prince Harry admitted that he had killed members of the Taliban during his 20-week posting, saying: “'Take a life to save a life. That’s what we revolve around, I suppose”.
But Lindsey German, convenor of the Stop the War Coalition, called the 28-year-old’s comments “crass”
