Its not like I go around calling all coloured people paki's or anything
In fact I can't actually remember the last time I used the word.
I just dislike the fact that people automatically assume you are an ignorant racist if you use that word, even if it is spoken in an entirely unoffensive context.

Give me an example of an inoffensive context
using the word 'paki'. Go on, I dare you. I'll shoot you down in flames without even trying.

It's offensive because
PAKI IS AN OFFENSIVE TERM.
BURN.
