I guess its only transformed into an offense by the British?
and ashton its not snowing yet, chill down..
Personally, some people I work with and who I went to college with who have pakistani heritage refer to themselves and each other as 'paki's'. I know for a fact that Amir Khan refers to himself as a 'paki' and has done on numerous occasions.
I wouldn't use the term personally and never have though.
However, we in Britain are so confused with the whole racism thingy that we now associate it as calling a black person a 'nigger'.
I've got pakistani mates who refer to themselves as pakis so I can see where the assocation comes from. They're now refered to as the 'P' word and 'N' word in liberal circles.
Personally I think its how the word is used that makes someone a racist. I just say 'asian'.
The irony is, Sheikh Mansour is from the Middle East. Shows just how thick some people can be.

No I'm not a racist and I'm not going to give u reasons to justify it as simply saying I am NOT a racist justifies in my eyes. I was immediately aware afterwards that it was a dickhead comment to make but it slipped out and I've had much worse words slip out of my mouth in my lifetime and probably will again. Makes me kiss how most of you probably sing Munich songs, chant you fat bastard at players, among other insults at matches. Just for the record IBH obviously I went to the match in the end and it didn't sell out so you might get your "rag" mates taking the mickey out of you but don't get too upset. Anyone else wanna call me a prick or a cunt feel free I'm a big boy and won't shed a tear.

Wasn't really any need for your 'mate' to put it on a City forum & broadcast it all over cyberspace then really was there? What was the fucking point? It's not clever & it's not fucking funny.
