Racism...Really?
Discussion
Why is calling a Pakistani person a '
' so offensive if they are infact from Pakistan.
Scottish people get called Scot's.
Australlian people get called Ozzy's ( Said Aussy).
Whats the big deal with the Pakistan version?
And, Before anyone starts, I have a good friend who is from Pakistan who i used sky dive with untill his snorkel and flippers didnt open on the way down.
Anyway....Discuss.

Been done before.
And if you can't understand the difference without someone explaining it then....
Why is the N word racist? After all, it's only slang based on the latin word negro. Answer that and you should understand why the word you're asking about is racist.
Oh, and I give it a few mins at most 'til this thread is locked.

It's really quite simple.
It's not the word but the intent.
^^This, +1, nail head hit, etc.It's not the word but the intent.
In a perfect world, "
" would be no more offensive than "Brit" or "Scot", but at some point (mid '70s, probably) it was hijacked by bigots and became a term of abuse rather than a simple abbreviation of a country of origin.

I find it offensive to be labelled a gori.
I don't see anyone rushing around trying to get that word banned.
What is a Gori? I've never heard of it.I don't see anyone rushing around trying to get that word banned.
So, to me, that word doesn't carry any implication. So, you may find it racist, but most don't. The same goes for scouse, scot or geordie etc. They are, for the most part, terms of endearment.
The P word has been used for decades as an insult. This mean that the word itself carries a negative connotation that words like brit and scot don't.
Hence, this is why it's racist, and the others aren't.
BTW, I think it would be great if everyone could use it freely, as IMO it would destroy the negative implication, and render it useless as an insult. Anyway, that's an aside.
All the 's in Bradford call themselves and other s, ''. Don't seem to consider it offensive, prehaps its only white people that think everything is offensive, because we are all just a bunch of pussies after 13 years of those labour wkers. fking communists. Oh cock 
(Guess 'cock' isn't offensive).
