Please dont use the word paki. Esp when its a British story. In the UK, thats like calling a black man the n-word. Pakistani is fine. Please don't be a dhimmi, politically correct weakling, or a person more offended by words than heinous actions. I know the Venn Diagram between those three pathetic categories have a lot of overlap. Perhaps if the British government hadn't imported vast amounts of Pakistanis against the will of the English people, the proper term for what to call these Pakistanis who are often adversarial to the true English wouldn't be an issue you'd moral preen us with.

Pointing out a term is offensive in a country isnt being a weakling. Thats a childish, simplistic argument. Asking someone for example not to use the n-word isnt being weak, its just good manners. And god, dont y’all love the d-word.

Firstly, the Indian and Pakistani immigration into the UK happened in the 1950’s and early 60’s, so it was 25-30 years before the extremism we see festering now started to creep up in the UK (late 80’s, Satanic Verses time). The notion that millions of ‘pakis’ came into the UK and immediately started causing problems is a nonsense.

Secondly, and rather obviously, the ‘adversarial’ Muslims in the UK, the extremists, are a minority. I know its hard for Americans to grasp, but the vast majority of British Muslims are normal, decent, hardworking, law abiding people.

There IS a problem with a vile, extreme section of the community, but contrary to US myth, they arent the majority or run the country.
