Personally I don't find the name 'Paddy' in any way racist - and I was born and reared in Ireland. I find it amusing, because it's what my father's friends called him.

No Paddy isnt racist, just abit of humour, as long as if you dont say it purposely to offend someone, it is just like English been called Limeys

Its is fine, if its his name. Otherwise it is a racist term pure and simple.
