PAKI. Is it offensive?
#321
RSCOSWORTH1 - hows that for a spelling. Its amazing you know how to spell but cannot understand the concepts or meaning of the English Language - as said before you need to attain at least a GCSE grade in English Language which you clearly do not have.
Anyone who knows me will know my views are far far from PC
Funnily enough when I used to live in Southall (approx 10yrs old) I had never heard of the term Paki and this was in a predominantly asian area. Then when I moved to Slough all the honky kids were running around calling me Paki but I was genuinely confused as I am a Sikh and didnt understand they were using it in a derogatory manner.
Oh I used honky above to describe white people - i dont think you will find it offensive as I think it is ok to use

He probably would be best off getting a proper grasp of spoken english and the potential for words within the english language to have different meanings before he tries to master complicated stuff like that TBH mate.
No point him trying to run before he can walk with regards to english language and culture.

Right had my say anyway all i can say is no wonder we had so many war's if we was all acting like fucking children like some of u are over a word.

I dont see anyone telling you that the correct way to respond to hearing an offensive word like CUNT is to stove someone's face in, that seems to be coming from your own inherent pent up aggression, possibly brought on by the frustration of living in a country who's language and culture you dont understand.

So what was it if someone walked upto and called u a cunt u would walk away and laugh ( I dont think so)!was on one of the reply's so what is that ment to mean if someone walked upto them and called them a cunt they'd do what? Walk away laugh like a civil human or act like an animal and fight over a word,?!?!
You'd get angry with them for calling u cunt? Why bother it's a word,
You'd fight them over a word, Why bother it's a word,
You'd walk away and laugh,Like i suggested BECAUSE it is only a word
Same as paki It's a word please pretty please grow up soon mate i can't be arguing about a WORD :cont ent:

If I saw a thread about knitting, I wouldnt start trying to add lots of replies on a subject I know nothing about, so it seems weird that you choose to do so on one about the english langauge, something you very clearly also know nothing about.

Older than i wanna be LOL,
27 soon,
And TBH chip in this entire thread were talking about a word "paki" some view offensive and some do not like me,Some will view cunt offensive some won't,
Simple fact's fella really i believe if someone said cunt to me in any context pal i would just laugh and know i am the bigger person for not taking offence to it,
But if ur paki why take offence to what u are?
Do the scottish no welsh no to what they are NO why would it be offensive to paki's or is it because it against PC view's but the scottish and welsh don't count then?hmmm,

Words being offensive doesnt mean everyone will be offended by them, some will and some wont wether that be the word cunt or paki, I agree with you on that.
So when you say those sort of words you risk offending someone, wether you care about the risk of offending someone or not is of course your choice, in some people's case they deliberately use the paki purely to cause offence, in other cases people dont realise the implications of it as a word, so some people intentionally make that choice and others dont.
With regards to the difference between the word scot and paki, as per dozens of replies in this thread, its because of how the work paki has been used that it now has conatations, much like the word cunt, were you not paying attention to the disucssion you were in?
If you havent understood it by now, you probably just arent capable of understanding it TBH as multiple people in this thread have given good explanations as to how the english language evolves with regards words taking on meanings based on how they are commonly used etc.

Right do YOU think seriously i am gonna go out to the local shop and call the owner a paki HONESTLY i wouldn't dare but in the same respect i do not find it an offensive word. Sound's hypocritical TBH but i know what i mean,.
Scot welsh english, "jock" "sweaty sock" "sheep shagger" are all ofensive term's but somehow cos there a PAKI WHICH they are is offensive?? It's like calling a scottish a scot is it not chip? Just shorter word BUT SORRY PC brigade is here for the PAKI only as it seem's IMO weather it has more meaning to one and not the other FACT is you cannot have one rule for and another for another race of people

Thats got nothing to do with PC or not, its simply a difference in the way use of the word has evolved, thats how a living language continually changes over time.
Read a copy of anything by shakespear to see how much the english language has changed in just a few hundred years.

Much like cunt again in fact, myself and my friends often refer to each other that way, like yours do, but that doesnt stop me from being capable of understanding the concept that it is offensive to other people, especially if used in certain contexts.

This thread should be closed now.
The general concensus from this is Paki is not offensive, unless people want it to be to suit there situation.
We are going round in circles!

They get lots of abuse, usually in good fun rather than in hatred, and the abuse takes the form of the sort of words you mention, you dont generally abuse a welsh person by calling him welsh, hence this difference that you STILL dont seem to understand despite the fact you actually said you wouldnt dare call a random pakistani shop keeper a paki in case you caused offense.
As per above, its become an offensive term due to the prolific use of it as one, much like the word cunt.
Ive never heard the word JOCK used an an insult personally, Ive only ever heard it said in good humour, so I would be surprised at anyone being offended by it.
Lots of black people use the term nigger yes, particuarly in rundown parts of the united states for example, but lots of other black people find it offensive, wether its said by a black person or a white person, therefore its a potentially offensive word.

What i am saying is 50/50 it is nor offensive or actually offensive is it has good term's and bad,But you lot seem to think it work's one way WHEN in fact it doesnt as u said if niggers can call each other nigger's and paki's can be called paki's then there is good and bad in both chip like cunt can be funny jokey way or can be hurtful way eh,
But i still VIEW paki as none offensive AS THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE CHIP!
SO what have we learned,
We can call welsh sheep shagger's and get away with it,Scot's Jock's,And white people in genral name as we don't give a fuck.
But call a pakastani a paki and MY GOD eh.
I leave it there chip in broad view paki is a short word for say pakastani FORGET hater's etc it is just a word .
If they don't like been called paki's well what do u want me to do change them i aint no god,
So ok aswell i can't say PAKI but i can go into my shop and please mr pakastani can u get me Doesnt quite work does it.I wouldnt call anyone by what they are but the fact is that is what they are and if they don't like it tough shit!.

As tim says, its all been covered, I really cant be arsed telling you how the english language works a 20th time if it didnt help you understand the first 19 times.

And how do you personally identify someone's heritage so accurately before you decide they are from pakistan then? What are the tale-tell differences that you go by to be so certain as it sounds like many other people in this thread who are less well up on indian and pakistani culture than you cant identify them so easily?

How peculiar, if I knew the shop holder personally I would refer to it as "kumar's shop" or similar TBH
I wouldnt refer to your car as "the brit's car" I would refer to it as rs cosworth 1's car if I knew you well enough to recognise your car, and I would do the same to a shop.
Like I call spikey's pug exactly that rather than "the welsh pug"
Would you refer to my sierra as "the english sierra" if you saw it parked and new me personally well enough to know it belonged to me and where I was from etc?
#351
Yeah a paki shop there isnt where i live,
But up north it was sikh's who owned the shop next door not paki's so i don't accuse TBH.
Doesnt matter were not talking car's mate were talking paki's as that is what they are.
If u know me well enough you would that's john's car same as i would do if i saw your motor mate.

If you walked up to me and called me a cunt to my face I would laugh hard in your face, and I can guarentee that you would get aggressive about the matter before I would.
