Well done Abdul Rahim. Pakistanis aint scared of the word if you go to the Sparkhill, Small Heath and Alum Rock areas of Birmingham you will see shop signs `Paki supermarket, Pak fruit & veg and stuff like that It`s just a name. Racism to me means Nazi gas chambers, shallow graves in Srebrenitza, South African apartheid and burned bodies hanging from trees in Louisiana. I too work with sikh`s and they use the word not in a horrible way but just to describe where someone comes from. The same as describing a Bangladeshi or a Pole. It was always some whitey like me who would say `Hold on Manni or Pav you aint allowed to say that`.
Something that also pisses me off is the flippant use of the word `racist` to call someone a racist is a serious thing. This is racist thats racist. To be called a racist when someone isn`t is as bad as a racist word anyway.
Take a look at this home page and see how many times you see the word.http://paki.com/
