Re: Why do people here like to use the term Paki so much?
The n-word has a history. As far as I know "paki" doesn't have any derogatory connotation. People just say "paki" (usually online) because it's shorter.
But, on the other hand, it's been said that the term in some parts of the UK is being used to describe dirty/low-class people or something. ?
my niece is so smart! :)
Yes.....the N word and the word paki can not be compared...one is derogatory and the other is just an abbreviation of the word pakistani. I dont know what context the term Paki is used in other parts of the world...but here in the US people dont get offended by it because it is not used in a derogatory way.
