Do you think the words 'Packy' or 'Packies' is racist?

Why is it that the word 'Packy' or 'Packies' is considered racist? Yes it is true that these 2 words can be used in racial remarks and they do hold negative associations but doesnt the word Brit not hold negative associations? When some foreigners hear the word Brit, this word may conjure up images of football hooligans or heavydrinkers but nobody considers its use racist. Everyone can use the words Yank, Jews, Jerrys (slang for Germans) Jocks, Poles, Japs and Iraqis, for example, and its reasonably acceptable (afterall, that is what they are!) but as soon as one says 'Packies' or 'Packy' then theres always someone who has to make a big song and dance about it and critisize you for being racist or at least say;'Oh you cant say that; you cant say that!!' but thats exactly what they are! Some people mistaken Indians for Packies and so some Indians dont want people to refer them as Packies, but arent some Asians Russian or Japanese not just Packies or Indian. Its political correctness!!Do you think the words 'Packy' or 'Packies' is racist?
No I don't think so.
No, I don't. You should spell it Paki.Do you think the words 'Packy' or 'Packies' is racist?
I think you are a "packy" because you like to get your schit pushed in
yes i think 'packies' may be racist

i used to live in dubai and there are huge groups of workers everywhere (they are basically slaves) these workers were usually either pakistanies or indian

people dont really like these workers because they are dirty smelly and stare at people and sh*t in the streets...people called them packiesDo you think the words 'Packy' or 'Packies' is racist?
I agree with Mr. Mustard.
So its relating to Brits? Hmm didnt know. Seems like people ust make up words they dont want people to say just so they can be in this exclusive group
Yes it is racist.

My dad doesn't think so though, and I get very embarrassed when he says Paki, as in when the cricket is on, he says "Oh how are the Pakis doing?" It makes me cringe.. Maybe it is a generational thing.



The term for someone from Pakistan is Pakistani.
