I dont understand why the word paki is a racist slur...i do understand the negative connotation behind it, but the actual word itself doesn't seem racist to me. To call someone from Pakistan and Paki seems right, since "stan" translates to land, meaning Pakiland, a land of pakis. Pakistani = pakilandian and that just sounds wrong. You dont call someone from Afghanistan an Afghanistani, you call them an Afghan. |
LOL i know..... its often not derogatory when used. In the UK many Indians and Pakistanis have been lumped under the same term. It's *much* more of a slur to Indians.
