Prince Harry uses anti-Arab racial slur…

First it was his costume party outfit of the Nazi war general and now this. Also, I remember an incident in Afghanistan when he wore a cap that had a American flag on it that read “We do bad things to bad people,” which I thought was horrid.

I am looking forward to listening more.
