Sigh... some Pakistanis got jealous of the fact that black people had the word 'nigger'. So they decided they could use 'paki' like black people use the word 'nigger'.
I still find it offensive, and I'm definitely not the only one, given that the only time I hear it is when someone is trying to insult me.
I can't say for sure since I haven't met all Pakistanis who are OK with the word paki, but all the ones I know who are OK with it are the ones who haven't suffered at the hands of that word. I on the other had still see it rear it's ugly head on a regular basis.
Sorry I realise I've been talking about this for some time now, I'll shut up.
