Interesting how and when this has caught the public interest.
FWIW -
1.
In what circumstances is it necessary or helpful to identify
someone’s racial or national attributes?
2.
As we all know, nationality and race are very different things
of course.
3.
What do you mean by ‘politically correct’? I genuinely do not
know what it means. (I do know what the hard-of-thinking suggest it means.)

I'm obviously missing a link
here. Should I be upset at being called a Brit?

I heard the clip causing offence on Radio 4, and it did seem
to me that Prince Harry was identifying an individual in a group before naming
him .
The term he used may be considered inappropriate - but is there any politically
correct, up to date way to identify different racial and national individuals
in England, the UK and the USA?
