I don't think the word "Paki" is racist, but in this country people of Pakistani descent find it offensive and prefer to be referred to as Asian.

We wouldn't want to offend anyone would we.

Would you want to call them by that if they find it offensive?

Interesting that Pakistani's don't find the term offensive in Australia. Probably not anywhere else in the world either.

 

Only in the country where some well meaning but misguided outraged types chose to give them a reason to milk it.

Me and a mate used to have a big golliwog mascot that we'd take out on the piss with us and to gigs etc. for a bit of an icebreaker and a laugh - we got untold amounts of shit for what was essentially a harmless bit of fun. Sometimes the grief we got bordered on violence. We ended up stopping taking 'Winston' out with us anymore - it just wasn't worth the hassle, a real shame...

I collect Robertsons Golly Badges and the amount of people who want the spares ive got is unreal. Apparently they're huge in Ireland and still collected. Only twice have i been told theyre racists, if they are racists then so is the front of Lionel Richie's - Can't Slow Down album

No one collects those badges for the sake of it, it is about making a point.
