u would understand because ur not of an asian background so the word has little meaning to you lef, it just seems silly like a word to u , but to an asian to hear the word "paki" been used..... it is extremely offensive i dont know why or what it is...etc it means nothing to me either but knowing the way they feel about it i know its rude and dont use it..its that simple! same as u dont know how swear words came about u just know when NOT to use them! same will be said if the aussies decided they dont like being called it..however i dont think it is used in a negative way to describe australians, it hasnt got that history... if i was to ask australians if they were offended by the term aussie i doubt id get one yes..however ask asians if they are offended by the term paki..and ull get a different response! its where it stems from that is the real issue not the word itself...
Ryan1 what do you call a person from Pakistan? we have poles, yanks, poms, aussies, whats so bad about paki's.....beats being called a nigger!!!
well not to an asian person it doesnt beat it its the same thing! an equaly offensive word used in the same fashion..for the same reason. just how the word "nigger " effects me the word "paki" offends them! simple pal...
oh by the way...i call them asian same number of syllables as paki ,easy off the toungue just with less hate and offence so no excuses people..! haha..they even made it easy for u..u see
