Reminds me of 2 of my schoolfriends
Who, when bored on a night out will start calling each other 'poof'/'puff' and 'paki' as one is gay while the other is pakistani-ish. After a one-sided few (as only the gay one drinks) they're not always quick enough to pause the double act when barstaff/randomites approach within earshot, at one time leading to the following awkward confrontation-
Pakistani-ish: "Bla bla bla, you puff."
Gay person: "Lol, paki."
Passing indianish/pakistani-ish glass collecting girl: "What did you just call him?!"
Gay person: "Errrr... a wacky?"
Passing indianish/pakistani-ish glass collecting girl: Glares, leaves.

He didn't say that.
He said indian-ish people look pakistani-ish and that can't be racist can it?

Courtesy of the border that didn't used to be there...
People from northwest India generally have the same middling skin colour as people (or their descendants) from most of Pakistan 'cos they're from the same latitude. A lot of the Indians who emigrated into the North of England were from Gujarat and Punjab so there's really nothing to distinguish them once the outward cultural signs are removed by 3 generations of being a Brit. It's largely once you get towards the southern half of India that people get darker skinned, there's quite a wide variation in skin colour across that country, not that there hasn't been plenty of migration within India to confuse that.

I dislike the term 'asian' as it feels like it lumps Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis in with Chinese, Thai, Kazakhs, Russians etc. Some Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Indians don't like being lumped together either, partly due to 3 wars.
