The combination of "runaway" and Nationalistic pride hurled on this young lady can't help but remind me of (thankfully, not Greek!) Prince Philip and his infamous gaffes ...
To a British student in China: "If you stay here much longer, you will go home with slitty eyes."
To a British student in Papua New Guinea: "You managed not to get eaten then?"
To a British tourist in Hungary: "You can't have been here that long — you haven't got a pot belly."
To a Scottish driving instructor: "How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?"
To Australian Aborigines: "Do you still throw spears at each other?"
Buckingham Palace officially apologized in November 2000, after the prince toured a Scottish factory. While looking at electrical equipment, the prince said its crude appearance seemed as if it was "installed by an Indian."
