NO JUSTIFICATION FOR PRINCE HARRY’ RACIST ATTACK, URGED TO
COMMIT TO ANTI RACISM

Mr. Mohammed Shafiq, Director of the Foundation
comments:
“I am deeply shocked
and saddened at Prince Harry’s racism which upsets and offends many
British Asians. The use of this sort of racism has no
justification and I am saddened by those that are advocating using this
term is not racist.
Prince Harry
as a public figure must ensure that he promotes equality and tolerance
and this rant whether today or three years ago is sickening and he
should be thoroughly ashamed of himself.
Whilst
accepting his apology he needs to show his commitment to anti racism by
visiting the British Asian community and show his remorse, his parents
have a distinguished record of tolerance and respect for the UK’s
diversity and we hope he learns to understand and accept that terms he
used are unacceptable in any circumstances.
It’s time for
real remorse.”
