I believe in calling a spade a spade.
A Yank, a Brit etc. If the Paki's have a problem they could always change the name of their country to Wankouvier or something they do like.

The Americans call themselves Yanks, the Australian call themselves Aussies and the British call themselves Brits. The word 'Paki' is derogatory, and Pakistans do not use it. If they are not comfortable using this 'termininology', we should also refrain.

Paki suggests that the person is Pakistani. Most people who use the word call any indian or asian person a paki which is mis-using the word and meaning it in an insulting way.

Strangely enough the Stan part of Pakistan just means country or land. Afghans live in Afghanistan etc. so you would think somebody who came from Pakistan was a Paki but this has become derogatory and therefore is regarded as a racist slur.

I have a nephew who lived in the SE of England and I used to ask him what he would do at the weekends. And he replied Auntie Annette I am going Paki Bashing. That is what he knew and that is what he grew up with. Because on the otherside of the coin the Parkistanis would call my nephew white scum.
So here we reach an impass. Call 'em what you bloody well like as long as you don't hurt.

It is the language associated with the word Pakis, most of the times those who use this word are insulting this race. Just try to remember how many times you heard this word not in a context of insult or racial hate!

Its because of how the word has been used in the past. Calling someone an Aussie was never meant to be an insult

You can call them Paki's if you like, just make sure their from Pakistan. I personally am not particularly enamoured to 'Kiwi', although I'm from New Zealand. Named after a fat-arsed bird. Great. Furthermore, I am ABSOLUTELY SICK of people asking me which part of Australia I come from. Can't English people really tell the difference?
