Re: Questions for british guppies
Is it OK to call a nigerian a nigger then?
Which country do you live in? The UK? Do you not know of the history of the word.
I'm sorry if I sound harsh but I do not want to be called by the same name (Paki) that was used to insult my parents. It has quite a bit of history to it. Fine, if other people are fine with the word then thats good but not me.
I remember one time when I was about 6 years old. Me and my brother were walking from the shops with our mother followed by a group of white youths throwing stones at us shouting Paki,Paki....
I guess it's easy to dismiss the word Paki if you have no history that connects you to it.
Bro, I know exactly how you feel, we’ve all been there, I too am a Paki who was born and grew up in Britain so I’ve had similar experiences. My old, disabled, defenceless grandfather was walking home one day from the library (he use to go there to read Jang) just minding his own business when a gang of unknown white skinheads decided to do a bit of Pakistani bashing and they beat him black and blue, punctured his kidneys and put him on dialysis for the rest of his life (the police who are also famed for being racist in this country didn’t catch up with them). That’s not all, when my parents first come to this country my mum says she use to wear the veil, not the letterbox ones you see nowadays but them Paki ones you tie under your chin and throw down over your face like a veil, she says she had it ripped off a few times but she didn’t tell paps because she didn’t want him to get in trouble with the police because he’s a hot headed man, she simply had to take it off and start wearing a Turkish scarf over a normal coat instead even though she’s a very spiritual woman and it meant a lot to her but this country is xenophobic, even if someone is different in a way that is not hurting them or not affecting them in anyway they have a problem with it because it’s “rejecting their way of life and everything the west stands for” and all that bollocks. A lot of them have a problem with the veil, with speaking Urdu, growing a beard, wearing a Saari, not eating pork/beef, wearing a Buddha spot, not drinking and having to pray to “Ala” five times a day, the amount of times I’ve heard white people mock these things, they simply don’t believe in live and let live, they don’t mean it when they say they believe in multiculturalism, don’t be fooled by educated upper class ones who show superficial kindness and tolerance because they too hope immigration is stopped and those of us already here will be assimilated one day and marry white women so that our brown genes are lost in a sea of white ones and brown genotype hidden by white phenotype.
Rant over, now where was I…? Yeah “Paki”, a lot of goray say the words Pakistani, ‘indu, Muslim, Black, and Brown in a derogatory way as well, does it mean we stop referring to ourselves with these words? They’ll add the B (born out of wedlock) word after all of them but does that mean we go along with what they dictate and agree that it sucks to be Paki and start complaining about it? Hell no, we ought to say “yeah so what?! It’s cool to be Paki, better than being a gora innit!!!” Like I said you’ll never get rid of the term Paki, the more you get annoyed by it the more they are going to use it.
The other day I was walking home along this road going past this hill, the hill is quite high up and there’s a wall and bushes going all the way along it so I couldn’t see behind it, anyway there must have been a few chavs up there smoking skunk and drinking cheap beer and I heard a girl shout “oye Paki boy!!”, I turned around stood there fuming (not at the word Paki itself but the fact that she thought it something derogatory and insulting) and I just shouted back to her in a broad northern accent “I’m f****** (slang for ‘sexing’) proud of it you freckle f****** (slang for ‘vagina’), orangey-yellow pubed, pale, bland, pancake-faced whore. I’d sooner be a Paki b****** than a swine faced Albino b****** any day.”
Boy did that shut her up, her or the lads with her didn’t have the guts to say anything back, even though there was one me and by the sound of it a dozen of them. I felt good, I’m not normally racist in my approach but if I hadn’t said anything back I wouldn’t have slept that night.
