It was a really shit joke
That's all she's guilty of. That and digging herself into a whole when trying to explain it away.

exactly.
If she'd responded originally "Well it was a poor taste joke that fell flat, meh." then no-one would have cared.
Instead she kept trying to say it wasn't racist, or that the word 'paki' wasn't racist. Most /talkers are fine with tongue in cheek racism but if you try to justify it beyond that you'll rightly get ripped apart.
It's what keeps this place a funny, irreverent website rather than a BNP sounding board.
