The addition of the Saffa mate makes it doubly racist.

So, what you;re saying here is that that along with being a fat would-be adulterer, you're a racist as well?

How does the use of a common word denote a racist?
The person using the word "paki" does so because it is acceptable in their society. Heck, in some societies in the UK it can be acceptable:
www.guardian.co.uk/world/2007/jan/23/race.bigbrother [old grauniad link because it's too late to find something newer.]
The ignorant become hung up on words, everyone else pays attention to actions.
Edit: Another, to go with something above:

Generally speaking, in this country, the history of the last 4 decades of so, the word 'paki' has generally been accompanied by 'fukcing' or a brick through the window.
So, yes, it generally does.

"...in this country..." and "...a South African mate...".
Seems you're the xenophobe for assuming another country uses the same racial epithets as yours.
The whole world is not the same as the UK and does not share the same vocabulary.
