From the Oxford dictionary

 

Paki

 

• noun (pl. Pakis) Brit. informal, offensive a Pakistani.

 

nigger

 

• noun offensive a black person.

 

— PHRASES a nigger in the woodpile dated a hidden cause of trouble.

 

— USAGE The word nigger has had strong offensive connotations since the 17th century. Recently, however, it has begun to be used by black people as a mildly disparaging or ironically affectionate way of referring to other black people. Despite this, when used by white people it remains strongly offensive, and should be avoided.

 

— ORIGIN from Spanish negro ‘black’.

 

 

So there you go both are offensive and a nigger is a troublemaker!!

 

So how's that for PC?

 

Interesting. Isn't the english language daft, we take a Spanish word and adapt it to mean people with dark coloured skin and it's offensive, and we simply shorten a word to describe a nation (Paki) and that is also offensive. I'd be intrigued to find out who first thought it was offensive to call someone from Pakistan a 'Paki'.

well you can appreciate the big difference between our two cultures. So dont say pakistani's and indians are the same... non asians have a hard enough time understanding the differences as it is.

I have alot of pakistani friends as well and have a BSC 1st in comp science, MSCE, Prince II Prac, have a good job as well.

 

 

so that kinda defeats your lil argument about pakistani people being UNEDUCATED....

 

Word of advice for next time.... ENGAGE BRAIN, READ WHATS WRITTEN, UNDERSTAND, THEN RESPOND....

Fine, still generalising though which could be perceived racist don't you agree?

My earlier comments have foundations too, Poland has a history of people driving around without insurance an road tax due to their economic climate and the run down state of their country, hence the reference I made to this so therefore we're quits:yes: :thumbs:

 

Ok so if you were referring to the Polish only then hairy muff. I don't know about the no tax/ins facts so i'll take your word for it. I guess this is the problem with all the PC stuff init?

Well,

I think that all this has clearly shown that all of us can fall into the PC trap regardless of our origins or views. A good lesson for ALL of us to be a little more forgiving of others views and not to jump on the bandwagon and look into every comment trying to find hatred where it doesn't exist.

 

I've learnt from this thread, not from my main two 'sparring partners' but from the ridiculous outcome of it.

 

Cheers lads, Paul.
