hmmthe point is that words have connotations - that's what words do - they mean things.
My argument is that it may seem like a lot of fun to casually use the word 'paki', but to many its use is associated with hate and intimidation.

here is the point ---->.you have missed it. as a (presumably) white person in a predominantly white society it's remarkably easy to not appreciate what it's like not being white. you, and for that matter i, have no idea what it's like having a bunch of cunts shouting 'paki' at us, but i think you can appreciate that it must be fucking horrible. a little consideration is what's needed.

live life and learnI have a rule when someone repeats themselves with no reasoned arguement the thread has ended. I will however help you with this one.
Creed is not the only socio-economic minority group out there. I'm a Dyslexic who happens to be 6 foot 7 inches tall this puts me in two minority groups that suffer from stereotyping (P.S I can JUMP). I've had a bunch of cunts shout at me for these things, through school, and you should see the grief at nightclubs when every pissed idiot thinks taking down the big guy is a good idea.
If they don't want to know you for who you are and don't listen to what your saying to them all you have to do is place them into that other well known social stereotype "Thick Idiots"
