Indian, here. I find those terms offensive. I find all such terms offensive, however. Just because some people don't does not mean they were not originally, and are not still, basically racist.
His name was spelt 'G-a-n-d-h-i', by the way.
It's one thing for Pakistani people to use the word 'Pxki', and totally another for white, or non-Subcontinental people to do so.
Kind of like Jewish jokes -- the only people who should tell them are Jewish people.
Or the 'nxggxr' word. If black folk want to use it among themselves, in their way, so be it. I don't use language like that. 'Pxki' is JUST as offensive! So is 'Chxnk', 'Spxck', 'Kxkx', 'Hxmx', etc.
Not a big fan of the National Front, nor the Klan, me.

I guess it would offend as much as asking for an Edinburgher in a McDonalds OR a paddy fry as opposed to a Belfast fry OR a full Engerlund OR a Jock Breakfast as we have the Scottish breakfast which is different from a Full English OR Sheep molesters rarebit as opposed to Welsh Rarebit / Cheese on toast

I'm neither Chinese nor Indian. Ask yourself this though. How would like to be treated and thought of by others.

I've said it in Chinese take aways before, it's either never caused offence or they haven't told me.

ur refering to americanized chinese food, so it doesnt really matter. Real chinese food is hard to get in the US.

no. normally they dont mind - because they know the lingo associated with their countries and culture.
but i am not sure if it is a good thing to say such stuff in front of them. it sure comes across as a very thoughtless thing to do.

Would more be said if the answer was yes? Would you mind that they minded?

Why would you refer to ethnicities like this anyway?
