#5742013-11-18 22:38I agree however that there's nothing offensive about the term Paki, You insisted as above that Paki isn't offensive when used in the correct manner. You even accused those who objected of being totalitarian (which still doesn't make sense) but is a wild accusation given those are doing so to save others feelings and those using it do so despite knowing it causes offence... Even in the 'correct way' your right to use this word is apparently more so than anyone else's right to object |

#582 Re:2013-11-19 18:50:59#574: - The totalitarian aspect was fully and comprehensively explained. People's feelings are not an exclusively racial issue, no doubt many people of Pakistani descent aren't bothered about the word unless it's used offensively, some are. Like us and other groups they're all individuals in that respect. Indeed some White people are hysterically and irrationally oversensitive to the mere use of words such as Paki and nigger due to the current obsession with race issues. If anyone knowingly uses such words offensively they should be dealt with in proportion to the actual nature and specific circumstances of the case, not grossly disproportionately punished due to modish obsessions by the authorities and establishment with ethnic issues. My right to use this or any word is exactly equal to anyone else's right to object. I will put my case using reasoned argument, others will put theirs. Although no-one has supplied any sort of cogent argument against using these words in a non-offensive context, apart from fabricated statements about what all people in a specific racial/cultural group think.
