Lest we forget his other colleague who 'looks like a raghead'. Not only does this show Harry to be and idiot it raises wider questions about the degree of casual racism in the armed forces.
If giving someone the nickname 'paki' is something seen as normal banter, similarly the 'raghead' comment, I think the important thing is to investigate this.
To be honest it strikes me that Harry is an idiot caught up in a system where this kind of thing is common and casual, as opposed to an actual racist. I'm not trying to make excuses, I just thing the important issue here is the bigger picture...
