Attention: Stop Using Word "Paki"

[a_k]

Please Stop using word "Paki" when referring to any thing related to Pkaistan, it is one disparaging word to define us "The Pakistanis" and what we are doing promoting it,

Pak·i

n. Chiefly British Offensive Slang

Used as a disparaging term for a person from Pakistan or neighboring countries or for the descendant of such a person.

Most commonly used words or phrases on pakwheels are:

pakiland
hey pakis
paki cars
paki manufacturers
paki ppl

Please refrain from using this insulting word.

@MODS, it is requested to kindly delete any post containing this word or at least change the word "Paki" with some appropriate word.

Regards,

Its like Blacks call each other Nigga'

I agree with what's written above, but at the same time i too call pakistanis who give the rest of us a bad name and act like fools "pakis" because i find there to be a big difference in a "pakistani" and a "Paki" (if you know what i mean)

However i do not condone the usage of the word by non-pakistanis and take great offence to the word since i spent a long time in europe where this word has VERY negative connotations towards our people.

generally kids these days don't know what the word means and think it is "modern" to say it,... bloody generation "Y"!!

@storm

Right again bro (Y)

Yea, people in Pakistan generally have little self-respect these days majorly focusing on youngsters. Shameful

[GLI]

I totally agree with toofast. Used amongst our own people, its acceptable. The Brits have been using this word since ever, so nothing new for people living in the U.K. Im sure there are bigger things to worry about right now than the word "paki". How about trying to figure out where our country is headed?

[Storm]

@GLI
i belive it's headed for te crapper,.. thanks to the great efforts of the previopus general who wanted votes...

soon it'll be up to us, WE are the future of pakistan.

@all
GLI's post has a point afterall if we can't respect eachother how are we going to ever get ourselves out of this hole we are in,... certainly not by diggin (politicians solutions)

[a_k]

call some bangladeshi a "bangli" he will tell you what is the difference !!!

[Alta]

When a black person uses the word nigga he is using the word the whites used and saying we are using your word to impower our own and they are using that slang against those who called them nigga.

Its NOT why Pakistanis or kids use the word Paki,they dont even know what it means,so NO its not like the blacks calling themsleves nigga.

empowerment is what they call it and not all of the black population like the use of that word,and its been debated a lot.

Bottom line,please dont use the word "P"

[toofast]

We always fighting over small issues and bigger problems are forgotten.

[Alta]

@ toofast

If someone useing a word that insults your whole nation and the people is a small issue to you then,what can i say.

[toofast]

@Alta
I think he don't want Pakistani's to use this word? I use it between my desi friends since this word does not exist here. Why i use it? It is short

[mickypaki]

admin help me in changing my nick!!!

[toofast]

@Mickypaki
BUSTED!

[Alta]

pata nahi yaar,even btw friends i mean its up to you.Its just that i hate that word and hate it even more when a Pakistani uses it and he is like woh what ? is this is a bad thing to say?

Its just frustrating and kids these days do use this word and have no clue about it.

I am done here

[GLI]

@Storm, I agree with you completely! Current scenario sadly puts everything else into the "less eloquent consideration" topic! We are no doubt the future of this nation!

[toofast]

@Gli & Storm
Future is what i am worried about. Pakistan is always in news(bad). Just watching news makes me sick (political and law & order situations)

[Red_Bull]

our deeds may change the meanings and their feelings

[coolarian]

Agreed with Storm

[shahroz_23]

i use paki only becuz its short.
and most ppl dont even know its an insult !!!
how's it offensive?
and if anyone does call u paki in an insulting, just say " i am a paki, what are u gonna do about it?" it will make it seem less like an insult.

dont think of it as insult, think of it as a short term ( which it really is)

if paki is an insult, then pakistani is an insult
so please dont make it look like an insult

[CrashD]

ok big deal too be honest! in my view as long as Pakistani calls me paki which is fine with me its a word though given to us by the white man true but hey havent we given em quite a few like ghora, black man kalla!, police man tullha, guy from kashmir pahria, mohajirs who migrated from india in 1947 hindustura!, council estate ppl minks!, a cobler family mouchis, the list keeps on going fact is we call ppl racsit while we ourselves are quite alot 2!!! the word Paki is no doubt a racsit remark and if want to start with not using this word amoung each other then should also stop using other words 2 which insult other ppl feeling too!
