Pretty funny. I bet not two Americans in 100 are familiar with the racist slur Paki.
To: rightistight
Thank goodness I saw this film before the members from the Church of the Perpetually Offended got to it. But now, my DVD collection might be sullied, as I’ll want to purchase this to complete the collection. The makers of Jurassic World might feel the need to censor itself to appease these delusional idiots.

They could change the name to Chinkycephalosaurus.

If you and I were in the same hundred we’d have just beaten the odds.

Why don’t they just take a shortcut and say everything is racist?

Tomorrow the Race Police will officially declare that being White is racist.
To: rightistight
I bet they’re glad that they didn’t include the Fudge Pachyderm in the movie. Imagine the swooning and gnashing of teeth over that one.

If you look hard enough, you can find racism anywhere.
Sad. Life’s too short to engage in such self abuse.

OK, that seems to make four of us. :)
But, seriously, stand on the corner and ask 100 people. What do you think you’d get?
I read a lot, including a lot of British books and newspapers. But most Americans don’t. Americans and Brits, for instance, interacting on a story involving “Asians,” are hilarious.
Americans think the word means East Asians, Brits are as firmly convinced it means South Asians. Incoherence and hilarity ensues.

Why is it considered a slur?

It’s short for Pakistani. I doubt that originally it was a slur, just an abbreviation, but some started taking it as offensive, much like Jap.
Utterly non-controversial words like “Oriental” have been denounced as racist slurs, despite the fact that Oriental simply means Easterner, which doesn’t seem any more racist than Westerner, Southerner or Northerner, none of which are considered racist.
