The Khan v Gomez apathy on ESB tells its own story...

The point is understood - but I wasn't around in the 60's and 70's so don't appreciate 'paki bashing'

I would bash a paki if they pissed me off, but i wouldn't bash them because they are a paki!

now - i think most agree that whatever happened in the past was wrong, but that is no reason for the current generation to be forced into this ridiculous situation of political correctness!

but these days, society is bonkers!

 

You don't understand how much things like this **** people like me off. I mean, ****, this is a historically Christian country. Why the hell would any non-Christians get offended by this kinda stuff. Honestly, you should celebrate St. Georges day with more pride too, it's pathetic that the English flag is sometimes hidden away for fear of offending minorities.

It really makes people from these minorities, like me, look bad too.

 

haha we do. But it's like black people calling each other n*gger, it'll never become acceptable for others to use it

 

Why not use the full word 'pakistani' when you know it offends us so much? I really don't see where you're coming from.

 

spot on

 

I totally agree Fita - people should be proud of where they come from and should be able to display that without fear of backlash. I remember playing a game of cricket in a park one day when i was about six, and it was england vs pakistan (so to speak - repeat of the 1992 world cup final) and was a real good laugh, but no fighting or verbals - just twenty or so kids playing sport.

There is a large asian community in the area of leeds where i live and they have their own festival each year, which is well attended by all members of the community - i am not saying there is full racial harmony, but there is integration to a certain degree.

 

yeh i personally think its stupid.

 

They happily refer to each other as Pakis, so whats wrong if someone else says it ?

Yes Indians, Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans do not like to be called Paki but lots of Pakistani youngsters use the word.

 

That does not surprise me, Khan cacked his pants when baby bull walked on stage for the JC- Bhops weighin.

I guess they did not want him having to go back to Bolton with a skidder. Them fancy heated leather seat in the car would get a bit messy.

 

If I was a Paki and someone called me a paki- knowing that I was one I wouldn't be offended. If I was an indian and someone called me a paki then I'd be pissed.

At school I use to think it was rude to call someone a paki but if your from Pakistan your a paki- so whats the problem.

Surely if your a Pakistani and you find been called a Paki offensive you must have a very low opinion of your own country?

I'm quite interested by this conversation.

 

is'nt that racism ?

 

I'm half cast.... Would I get away with calling someone a n1gger or a paki? Not that i'd want to.... much.

 

irish=ireland english=england etc etc why does a man from pakistan have a problem with being called a packi.

 

exactly, i have often thought this:good

 

You have to remember that a lot of these god-squad whiteys really just want non-whites and non-Christians to at least leave them alone and preferably do as they say. They certainly don't think that Sikhs, Muslims and Jews would know what was best for them.
