goes to-
Prince Philip.
This week, media reports alleged he displayed astonishment that Obama was able to tell the difference between the Russians, Chinese and David Cameron.
However, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Let us amuse ourselves with some of his other gems.
"If you stay here much longer you'll be slitty eyed"
To British students in China
"Ghastly"
Commenting on Beijing, China, during an official visit there.
"Those bastards murdered half my family!"
Commenting on whether he would consider a visit to Russia, in a room full of press agents.
"Aren't most of you descended from pirates?"
To a Cayman Islander.
"You managed not to get eaten, then?"
To a student that had been trekking in Papua New Guinea.
"You are a woman, aren't you?"
In Kenya, accepting a gift from an indigenous woman.
Prince Philip on the key problems facing Brazil
"Brazilians live there"
"You look like you're ready for bed!"
To the President of Nigeria, dressed in traditional robes.
"It looks like it was put in by an Indian!"
Pointing at an old fashioned fuse box on a factory tour in Edinburgh.
"Do you still throw spears at each other?"
To Australian aborigines, during a visit to Queensland, 2002.
-So, I call on you all to share your favourite racist persons, jokes, and even anecdotes.
For example-
Recently, one friend inquired as to the whereabouts of one of our Indian friends, failing to recognize he was standing beside her.
She attributed her mistake to the fact that he was wearing a "brown t-shirt".
This friend also made the blunder of saying to one of our black friends "ahhh, I can't see you in the dark! It's like camoflague!"
-Contribute, and discuss.
