Re: Calling someone a ‘Paki’…
I disagree. I think reclaiming a word, cos it is just a word and turning into something laughable is a lot better than crying about people using it. There are so many other things one could be crying about.
My dad always said make racism their problem, not yours.
Im not trying to say it is acceptable to use, I just think brown people have a lot more to worry about than a word.
Just to clarify a litle more, Pakistani people are a lot more racist towards each other, kala, chitta, Urdu, Punjabi. Worry about that. Not about some non Pakistani calling you a Paki. That’s nowt if your own chacha’s wife’s brother’s MIL thinks you’re too dark skinned to be part of her family.
