# Hmmm, I don' t want to go bothering any goats.
Like I said above, it's the term 'Paki' I have a problem with.
Where I'm from originally it's pretty much always used in a derogatory and spiteful way.
For the record, I'm not the fucking race police or anything; what bothers me is
1) if it looks like the board tolerates racism, it will attract racists
2) if the board appears racist, and I'm on the board, I may appear racist by extention ('b3ta? they're a bunch of fucking racists')
3) if the board appears racist, it may put other people off posting

# Oh dear.
Political correctness gone mad - can't even use racist slurs without someone pointing out that it's not a good thing.

# Ok.
To restate though, I find your use of the derogatory racist term "Paki" to be gratuitously offensive without being in any way humorous, and I think it makes us all look bad.

# Dear Internet
Mofaha and the rest it the b3ta board are not racist. Neither am I, but I refuse to be told what words can and can not be used.

# Well, all political correctness really is
is aiming not to hurt or bully people who don't have the upper hand.
I'm broadly in favour of it myself.

when over-used then it has a negative impact.
