[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely Mclean. You can tell by the big bad attitudes that they have. They think that money = class. Also a lot of tech Paki Palaces along the Dulles corridor. You'll see grandma in her sari walking the toddlers every day like a free live in nanny. [/quote]

What on earth would you know about class?  You are one white sheet away from full on racism. [/quote]

Ugh let me back up before this gets out of hand. I didn't invent the term, I was only reusing it. In England people from the Indian sub continent are called Pakis. I didn't mean to be or sound racist, just trying to paint a picture. I apologize to the forum. [/quote]

I'm English and yes, it is used in England, in the same way that the N word is used in the US.  It is very derogatory.  I have heard it used here in the US - by Pakistanis - as a neutral term but I would NEVER use that word myself.  It has much more negative connotations in England than in the US.[/quote]

I'm Indian-american (born here, brought up here, 30 years) and I have [u]NEVER [/u]heard "paki" being used in the US. And none of my south asian friends born and brought up here would take that term as being 'neutral'

As everyone else has pointed out, in the UK, the term "Paki" is used as the N-word is used here. It is more definitely a racial slur. The person that used that term on this thread is severely mistaken and I'm guessing probably has lots of BNP and EDL friends in the UK.

Kudos to the brits on here setting this person straight.
