erm... no.
Paki, Tajiki, Khazakhi etc are all linguistically acceptable.
Paki used to be in common use in the UK but it fell out of favour when it became overused as a derogatory term. See also "nigger" & "spastic".

I said I wasn't sure if it was acceptable
but turns out it is, so thank you.
But the point remains that the word Paki now carries with it a weight of racist sentiment.
