No, he wasn't any of those things, it is just your opinion of him. He was probably better regarded and considered in other countries than he was here. But it's your opinion and you're entitled to it.

I’m sure you’ve never told an Irish or Scottish joke.
Get a grip you fool. There is a distinct difference between a quip and deep seated racial hatred.
Do you think every football supporter who calls us sheep shaggers are racist?
You have a black belt in getting offended on behalf of others.

Re: Duke of Edinburgh dies
Supporting, following, and in many cases worshiping these people who hold absolute power over us, regard themselves as our betters, expect us to bow, curtsey, address them in specific ways, are oxymorons (in a so-called democratic country) and are obscenely wealthy by inheritance gained from power and force, etc., etc., etc is nothing short of a type of Stockholm Syndrome.
