Would You Be Offended?

[cuzzy]

yeah dr evil i was using Shakespeare as an example of how jewish people were discriminated back in the 'victorian era'

[Dr-evil]

LoL cuzzy, Shakespeare wasn't in the victorian era, he was in the elizabethan era

[* Adnan *]

i disagree Adnan reason being..if you look back all the way to Shakespeare times you'll notice that jewish people have been much more discriminated than asians...reason being they were rich compared to asians and therefore were highly discriminated

i had a reely good point forgot now:@ when i remember ill post it up

I'm on about these days!

[* Adnan *]

You ain't alowed to bring religion in are you? . . .

[cuzzy]

ty Dr evil for corrrecting me

Adnan that was just an example which oviously you didn't seem to understand - i dont see how comparing differences is breaking a rule?

the term 'paki' is usually considered as offensive when used by Non-Pakistanis

[cuzzy]

Currently asians are more discriminated however if you are talking about centuries back then jewish people have suffered the most discrimination

[cuzzy]

yeah black people are still racially discriminated till this living day

one of me mates was called a 'dumb paki' by some white lad few weeks back and ah asked her what did you do? and she replied saying 'was wrong with that?'

some people are fine with being called a 'paki' by a non pakistani
depends who you say it to

[cutieepiee]

i dont really tink paki ish a offensive worddd buh basicallyy wun day i was chatting to this pakistanii hu comes on chat not mentionin names buh he woz on the fone to me n ma bro mustav been talking to hym afta n called hym a paki which he tuk very offensivelyyyy n hanged up afta alll tis person username on tis ish got the world paki in it soo i dont know how he tuk it soo offensivellyyyy :S

[cuzzy]

yeah and that refers to ma point 'depends who you say it to'
it doesnt really matter about whether he had 'paki' in his username or whatever....a black person can have a username as 'ni66a' etc thats acceptable but yet if a non-black person cald em 'ni66a' they could probably screw...
people react different ways so some may get offended and some wont

[C.I.A]

nooo cutiepie u proved her point lol messin yh tis tru depends on hu u say it to, personally call me wa u want dont really care cos u knw u love me really

I think the main thing with the word "paki" isnt the fact that its an abbreviation of the word Pakistani but with the fact that some people decide to call the majority of Asian people "pakis" which is offensive to some people because you're generalising a racial group together to a specific country.

I think the situations like Afro-Caribbean people call eachother "nigg*rs" and its acceptable but when someone belonging to another race says it, they get accused of racism.

It's like in Rush Hour (2?) where Carter going into that shack place and says "Wassup Ma Nigga" to every1 but when Jackie Chan says it he gets his ass kicked?

ermm i wud b offended since am nt pakistani lol bt den agen its onli words i dnt care

[cuzzy]

lol asha
it's the way they say it for example if youre walking down the road and a white person shouts out 'OI U PAKI' ur most liekly to react in a different way

[cuzzy]

hiya
why would you be affended if someone called you a paki at the end of the day if you are a paki then you are if your not then your not it dont matter what people say or think simple as

yeah so if somebody called you a paki why would you smack them like you stated above^^^
