As long as I've got a face

i disagree. it means nothing to me but people that look a certain way. i know it to be offensive though. even when i was little and used to use it in everyday conversation it meant nothing more than people who look a certain way.Okay, so it is a racist slur, you know it's a racist slur and so does your intended target.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
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.
i don't know why you're trying to blur the line between racist and racial
effendi
Your initial point, which I disagreed with, centered on hurling racial slurs at someone you hate. Which you said was just being a cunt.i disagree. it means nothing to me but people that look a certain way. i know it to be offensive though. even when i was little and used to use it in everyday conversation it meant nothing more than people who look a certain way.

I said that it's not just being a cunt, it's more than that - and I'm quite obviously right.
I know the difference between racial and racist, doesn't everyone, but that really isn't what you're talking about when you mention using racial slurs against someone you hate.
I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

Manker's web totty
So to come to a conclusion;
Manker is a sheep shagging Welshman
Crabgirl is a greasy inbred gypsy
Baz is telly-burning white trash
JPaul and Gep are dirty wee Jocks
And I'm a sophisticated European
Case closed
yeeehaw

The word Pakistan was created in 1933 by Rahmat Ali Chaudhry, a Cambridge law student, to refer to the independence movement that existed prior to the British decolonisation project of ex-London law students. It derives from the Urdu words for "pure country". However, the abbreviation Paki acquired offensive connotations in the 1960s when used by British tabloids to refer to decolonisational subjects in a derogotary and racist manner. In modern British usage "Paki" is typically used in a derogatory way as a label for all South Asians, including Indians and Bangladeshis. To a lesser extent, the term has been applied as a racial slur towards Arabs and other Middle Eastern-looking groups. In recent times there has been a trend by second- and third-generation British Pakistanis to reclaim the word, such as in the name of the clothing company PAK1 or the independent refugee television news agency paki.tv.
The racist connotations may be confined only to the UK. In Australia, the Pakistani cricket team are commonly referred to as the Pakis, just as the West Indians are known as the Windies.
Gypsy (also gipsey, gypsey, gypsie) is a word (sometimes derogatory) in various languages that most commonly refers to any of the following ethnic groups:
* Roma people, also spelled Rroma, Roms, or Romani, an ethnic group in Southern and Eastern Europe and the Middle East:
Gitanos, also spelled Ciganos, a Roma people in Spain, Portugal, and southern France
Kalderash, the most numerous of the Roma people, from the Balkans, Central Europe, North America
Romnichal, also known as Rom'nies, mainly in Britain and North America
Sinti, also known as Zigeuner or Zingari, a Roma people mostly in Germany, Austria and Italy
* Gypsy people not directly related to the Roma:
Lyuli, an ethnic group in Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia
Irish Travellers, also known as Pavee, a nomadic people living in Ireland, Great Britain, and the United States
Sea Gypsies, different peoples of Southeast Asia
Yeniche (people) of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and Belgium.
* Caló (Spanish Romani), a jargon spoken by the Gitanos Roma
* Romani language, the language of the Roma, an Indo-Aryan language not related to the Romanian language
* Shelta language, a language spoken by the Irish Travellers
Right that's that sorted.
The Roma People (singular Rom; sometimes Rroma, Rrom), sometimes called "Romany Folk" in the United Kingdom, often referred to as Gypsies or Gipsies, are a diverse ethnic group who live primarily in Southern and Eastern Europe, Western Asia, Latin America, the United States and the Middle East. They are believed to have originated mostly from the Punjab and Rajasthan regions of India. They began their migration to Europe and North Africa via the Iranian plateau around 1050.[27]
Traditionally most Roma spoke one of several dialects of Romani (Romany), an Indo-Aryan language. Today, however, most Roma speak the dominant language of their region of residence.
