    No, Bo. My family does have some Gypsy ancestry, who were proud to be Gypsys. I called myself a Gypsy. Did you really think I was being racist to myself. God I'm such a Greasy Racist.

    I don't see your point - do you think Paki is an offensive term or something?

    Spose it might be to some people - depending on the context. I've always considered it to be short for Pakistani. Like Scotch is for Scottish or whatever.
    k, sure. nice effort.


    where i come from (the UK) it's derogatory.

    forgetting it's origins here. it's a "racial slur" but it means essentially nothing. if i did say it to someone i would likely get smacked because it's a racial slur. however, it shows no prejudice. which makes your answer to my post meaningless

    Gypsy is not a race is it?

    and i asked a muslim once if the word pakki was racist and she said it was very offensive to her, her parents were from pakistan, i tried to argue with her about it but i lost.

    True court story.

    Witness 1 - I was in the Paki shop at the time.

    Judge - Don't you ever use a term like that again, it's disgraceful.

    Witness 2 - I was on my way to the Paki's on the corner.

    Judge - How dare you use a description like that. Do not do it again.

    Witness 3 - I saw him at the Paki shop up the road.

    Judge - I am appaled by this behaviour, the next person to speak in this manner will be in serious trouble.

    Witness 4 - I own the Paki shop on High Street.

    True (paraphrased) story.

    My family may well have some English ancestory (I fucking hope not) but if it did, that doesn't mean I'm not being racist when I call the English rugby team, and their supporters at the stadium, a bunch of inbred, public school cunts.

    Well according to what I was taught back in the day, gypsy is a bit of a racialist term but if it's okay for you to use it, then it's okay for anyone, gypsy or not.

    Same with busy's use of the word "nigger", if he can say it, so can I. If I'm not allowed cause i'm not black, then that's racialism right there.

    Just because you're being racist doesn't mean you are wrong.

    Okay, so it is a racist slur, you know it's a racist slur and so does your intended target.

    If you meant it as pre-judging him with whatever negative preconceptions that word conjures up for you then that's being racist. If you didn't mean it then you're pretending to pre-judge him with whatever negative preconceptions that word conjures up for you. Which is pathetic.

    Which is exactly what I wrote in my first reply -- I just wanted to get it clear if you considered the term 'Paki' as racially offensive.
