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
I think I said on the national media, not out on the streets.
