I do not know why peopel cry when called a Paki or whatever. You know what you are and be proud of it! I think people get too upset when they are called racist names and it just shows how insecure people feel about belonging to a certain race or colour.

It is different if you are constantly and regularly targeted by a certain individual or group as that is bullying.

If someone calls me a Paki or uses it in an offensive way I turn around and say I am Turkish, Egyptian, Moroccan, Indian etc …that leaves them baffled!

I know this cos I had fought street battles in East London when I was in College .
Even now this kind of racism exists in UK and some other European countries. In Canada or USA this kind of verbal racism is very rare and very well guarded by 'Charter of Rights and Equality (Canada)
I can not say the same for UK though.
