In the UK they call Pakistanis, paki for short Asians as the left deems the words Pakistani or paki racist

You have it wrong dude. Pakistani is very proper. To use the word "Paki" would be the equal of calling Clarence Thomas the N WORD, though many on the left do refer to Clarence Thomas by this term.

turkey is Turks
British is Brit
Australian is Aussies
Kurdistan is a Kurd
etc

etc

you said

it is an abbriviation for where someone comes from like I highlighted above

paki is short for Pakistani
same as Turkish is short for Turk etc etc
don’t give me that the word or abbreviation of paki is racist. I expect that from the radical left

pashtun, afghan, Kashmir and the I was put there because of when the British used it for for abbreviation.

BTW
the only people in the UK who feel like you do are the ones who read the guardian or daily mirror and listen to the BBC

seeing as I am from there///(are you?) then you are the first person here in America who has ever thought an abbreviation of where someone is from is racist.

so is Turk racist?
is Brit racist?
is Kurd racist?
is tajik racist?
is Aussie racist?
is paki racist?

you tell me why paki is different from Ali the rest, please I would love to know how you single one abbreviation out to the others for being racist?

I look forward to your answer here as even the whack job left cannot answer this
