NoshowJones Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 One reason you cant call a Pakistani a Paki in England is because 40 million white people will tell you its offensive. I have a local shop near me called Paki. It is run by Pakistanis and plenty of white people go there to get what they need. You have to understand you are offending a lot of non Pakistanis by calling a Pakistani a Paki. Hope you now understand No one has the right to not be offended. If we are to limit freedom of speech after "the offended" we will end up with nothing. Should I be offended at being called a Scot? No I wouldn't.

SoiBiker Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 'Brit' and 'Scot' aren't just shortened versions of British and Scottish, they're nouns in their own right referring to individuals with those nationalities. You don't call refer to an individual from Britain 'A British'. However, 'Paki' is not the equivalent noun for someone from Pakistan. Equating it with these words shows a certain ignorance of the English language - probably willfully so in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Hill Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Fair enough for you I guess - but some of us actually like women. They are horrid creatures. God should have given blokes vagina's instead of women. Could you please expand on that? Do you really want a man with that kind of attitude to expand on such a moronic statement?

I am English....What is OK for folk to call me.......? Clearly reading comprehension is a bit of an issue for you. Brit is not short for British. It's the noun equivalent of an adjective. For people from Pakistan - as for those from many countries - the noun and adjective are the same word - 'Pakistani'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think it's OK for a Pakistani to call me, an English guy, a Brit, but an English guy cannot call a Pakistani a Paki...? Yes. Because 'Brit' is the correct noun for a British individual. The equivalent for an individual from Pakistan is 'Pakistani', not 'Paki'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaeJoMTB Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Finally I pondered an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts? Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts, but how could they "know"? If getting kicked in the nuts once or twice gave guys a free ride for the rest of their life ....... My guess is we'd all be lining up. Short term pain, for long term gain.

Asheron Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Anyone saying that farang is not exclusively for white people have no idea what they are on about. People: This is complete and total disinformation. Not just misinformation, but disinformation. Lies made up to justify racial hatred. The inaccuracy of Asheron's statement can be readily confirmed by anyone. Just ask the next black or brown non-Thai you encounter in Thailand if they are ever referred to as a 'farang' by Thais. Ninety-nine percent of the time the answer will be: 'All the time!' Choosing to be perpetually angry and indignant over something when a tiny effort to educate yourself would alleviate the problem. Sad, really. Just because many people do not know the meaning of a word and ue it wrong does not change the meaning of the word. Just like you do not know what the word racism mean does not chagne the meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those from India etc use the word Britisher..........Do we now have TWO standards...? Britisher is a recognised dictionary word....Or in your opinion not to be used IF you come from the UK....? It's not exactly in current usage, is it? But what point do you think you're proving here? Even if 'Britisher' was the correct word, 'Paki' is not, and never has been.
