They were NEVER referred to as “Pakis” on the national media. Ever. Pakistanis occsionally. Anyway, “Asian” is a better coverall term, as it includes Indian, Sikhs etc.
er they WAS AND ARE reffered to that many many times by everyone.
Not sure how old you are or where you come from but I am telling you that in my school and around our way in salford and Manc we all said paki in the 80’s and 70’s
even today I hear it a lot
to say it is racist is pathetic.
would Afghan be racist
, how aout Tajik, Kurd?
they all end in stan
Pakistan.
Pushtun
Afghan
Kashmiri
Stan mean the land of and the I was added during the Brit empire as it was easier to include to say.
you want to fall for the PC BCC Guardian crap then by all means but it does not mean we all have to fall for it.
My wife says Paki all the time but where she comes form it mean package store, so when she says I’m off to the pakis it means for her to go to the corner shop and no there are no pakis there
NO Asian mean s the entire continent of ASIA which is wrong as it lumps all the continent into one regardless of what they look .
For example the police say they are looking for an Asian.
OK is he chinese, Thai,Indian.
you have no idea what so ever if you heard that out of the PC UK and neither would anyone else.
