Just been on the bbc cricket page to congratulate the great effort by England today....and my post got removed.., As i called the Pakistan players pakis Just don't get it..,. Australia= Aussies America= yanks England/British...brits.,.no **** seems to have a problem with that.,,BBC are racists
Apparently, the Aussies print it on their front pages when they’re playing them at cricket. That info might not be up to date.
So because i live in brough.is it racist to call me a broughie. Is it racist to call someone from pakistan a pakistani.
prejudiced against or antagonistic towards a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized. so technically it's not racist but ignorant
If you watch the film East is East the use of the Paki word as an insult is rife, but it’s another Pakistani is using it, Pakistanis in Africa call themselves Pakis, however it’s used by other races, white, as a racist insult and has been ever since they came over in numbers in the 50’s and 60’s, Paki bashing by skinheads was really bad in some towns. There can’t be anyone alive in Britain who doesn’t know that it’s a racist term if it’s used by anyone but a Pakistani, same as black people calling them selves the N word, indeed Taffy, Jock and Paddy are now seen by those called it as a racist term. My wife uses the term coloured, to me in private as she thinks the words Black people is offensive, we tread a fine line between offensive and racist, don’t Turkish people hate being called Turks?
