hmmm i beg to differ actually, not many skinheads left in the Uk... and socalled racial slurs dont bother me much so that s what i use... its short for pakistani....
but if it offends then fine i will use pak or pk instead ... easier on the fingers...
point taken but i thinks we are just all a bit too sensitive maybe?
and before anyone jumps down my gullet , thats only my opinion!!;)
I think that using the P word is like using the N word ...no one likes the word said out aloud but we all use it in the discreet company of our desi friends (I use it all the time but hubby finds it offensive!) However, we would never use this in public in front of non desis nor would we like this said to us and as the internet is an open forum, it is better to encourage respect for our people by non desis who read GS.
Just my humble opinion my friend!
