I believe it is being regarded as offensive because a Pakistan group leader say`s it is offensive, when these spokesmen speek out they are regarded as speeking for the majority of the all community and the national press have no other option but to report on these matters for fear of being accused of racial discrimination.We all know the working mans press are well aware that these headlines will also sell news papers.We also know that these remarks from Harry were not intended to be offensive and are now being used by these community leaders for a different agenda.
