There is some fantastic Pakistani female talent in attendance that I never knew existed.

Think the Pakis have made a mistake here. Maybe needed to get another over out of Afridi to the 2 new guys.

I used the word Paki the other day around an English colleague. He reacted as if I'd said the N word.
Your fault for having an English colleague.

Over compensating for centuries of racism.

I wonder what a Pakistan person would say
I think it wasn't until Bend it Like Beckham came out that Australians found out that in other countries (esp the UK) that it's offensive/derogatory. We used to use it as a shortening of Pakistani :grinning:

There's a funny skit from the D Generations Late Show around 92 in which Rob Sitch basically darkens his skin and impersonates Imram Kahn and his reputation as a ladies man. There's a bit where he's going on and on, and Tom Gliesner yells: shut up you Paki bastard!
