Yeah cut it out hhm, there was a bit of a discussion on the forum a while back and apparently it is a derogatory term.

That was April 2014
All the more reason why it applies even more.

"P-a-k-i" was mentioned, can't say Pakistani is derogatory though.

Are there people of Pakistan origin on this forum?

It's the former that people were complaining about. I think aydee's might have been due to an autocorrect.

"Pakistani" is the genuine way of addressing a person from Pakistan. That's like Indian, Zimbabwean. Nothing wrong there.

Even "Paaki" is some racist slur the British probably used to address muslims in a bad way perhaps. No other parts of the world considers that racist.

EDIT: So, there is an autocorrect in place. So hhm actually wanted to beat the system and wanted it to be the version some people consider derogatory so intentionally misspelled. Interesting.

Does that matter, or would you think it's okay to use the N-word on a KKK site, assuming it's only visited by hooded clowns?

We had the discussion, and apart from a few people, based on where they stay they expressed discomfort with the word.

What you are saying on the other hand is making things extreme.

You should find out why I asked the question.

Don't be so touchy when people call you out on what you post. And sorry, no, I'm not going to ask for an explanation for everything you say in the forum--I'd spend the rest of my days reading your answers.

Then don't expect me to note your misplaced concern.

The question still stands, who of Pakistan origin is an active member of this forum? Only those who know of one or happen to be one need respond.

Okay, so did you try to outsmart autocorrect or not?
