“No one would play Jews and Nazis” . . . Daniel Justice may be spot on about the racism involved, but he also seems a bit optimistic about people getting that other racist dress up play is not just harmless fun either.

"Prince Harry says sorry for Nazi costume "

That said, good on the people who took a stand.

No oneOnly sociopaths and completely ignorant assbags would play Jews and Nazis

Yeah, pretty much. There's a lot of them out there though. (And I suppose people with disturbing fetishes might be added to that list.)

To be (slightly) fair to Harry, the party in question was a 'Sound of Music' party. He didn't just pick a Nazi costume at random.

He's still a total divvock for choosing it at all, mind.

[keestone]

Yeah, that was really more the first example that came to my mind rather than a perfect parallel.

He should still have known better though.

Yeeeeeah. But if he was good with cause and effect, or emotional maturity, let's be honest: he wouldn't be Harry.
