So Pakis’ are Pakistani’s but for some reason that abbreviation is deemed racist and yet it is alright to say Krauts, Aussies, Frogs, Aussies, Paddies, Jocks, and Turks.
It’s all PC and I still call them Pakis and bring this up when anyone there states it is racist.
Someone pls, what are Jocks?
Not to mention “Yanks”. ;)
You said Aussie twice. Do you have something against people from Australia?????
(sarc)
Turks is correct.
Thats what they call themselves, officially.
Australians call themselves Aussies sometimes.
The rest are derogatory even if not particularly insulting.
Because Paki is used a racist insult in the UK, as Paddy used to be and still is. Some Scots, not me, might claim Jocks is. The others are just plural terms for nationalities. Frogs is a xenophobic term.
For me Paki is used deliberately as a racist term of abuse, which is why I wont use it.
