Do you say the racist 'P' word...

[:Jamie]

I see pakis say **** so yeh of course.

[bo$$]

The think i dont get is

"asians" - Asia
"british" - Birtain
"****" - Pakistan

So how can they correct us from saying **** when they are from pakistan not asia :S

I see pakis say **** so yeh of course.

err.. you see black people say ------ but that doesn't make it right?
you see asians say one of the many slurs against them but that doesnt make it right?
You see pretty much any culture saying anything racist about themselves but that doesn't make it right for you to say it

and ummm I don't know if its been told or not. but to anyone whos said like. Oh they are from Pakistan so thats what they are called or whatever.. and the people from asian are asian, britian are british, etc...
People from Pakistan: wouldnt it be Pakistani?

If its fine for them to then why cant we, the word racist these days is just out of context. You see blacks call eachother ****** but they dont like it when we refer to them as it? I bet 99% of them dont even get offended by it. You know your not even allowed to call ppl half cast now coz its deemed racist, who gets offended by that..

They say it like you said it. When they get offended is when people add an -er at the end. And they can say it because they are it.
Say for example...

Damn. I had an example. but I forgot it. I'll edit this thread in a bit when I can remember

THey say it because they are it? Then they shouldnt mind others calling them it. Your just making no point, are you black?

If you must know, I'm mixed.
And I wasn't saying they say it because they are it I was saying they CAN say it because they are it. Just like you don't mind making fun of yourself every once and awhile, but its bad when someone else does it?

I'm agreeing with that point...

I don't use it, and my parents discourage me and my sister from using it, and they rarely use it themselves. I do think it's a bit racist if you just call some random Asian it. It depends on the context, but I never say it - I follow all the political correctness rules... it's the only way I'll get by in this country.

Nearly half of my school are from Bangladesh, and there's more fights than anything. I saw an Bangladeshi boy strangle a white boy for calling him the P word - even though he isn't from Pakistan, it's still wrong for the white boy to go round saying it. Apart from that, there are proper fights. Mostly within my year (whoopee...).

And for the person on the first page, Pakistan is in Asia.

Its like I heard someone say this "If a black person is born in britain they call themself british but you dont see a dog born in a stable and consider itself a horse"

[bo$$]

Also, just because you might think its "just a word" and whatever and you can't see why someone would get offended by it you should realize that people think differently. If you were the one being slurred Im sure you'd be mad too. If you sit here saying "Ohhh well thats stupid its just a word i wouldnt get offended and its dumb that they do" then like I said, people think differently about things.

Bottom line, I don't say any racist/near racist words just randomly. or ever even.



edit; to the post above, whether the guy considers himself british or not I'm sure he'd be offended if someone either called him a n----- or something offensive about British people
