Actually, I wonder something here.
If you use the word 'paki' in refferance to the country, is that any worst than using 'brit'?

Yes.
People get beat up and spat at and sent to Coventry for being pakis. They get passed over for promotion, not employed, not let in clubs and accused of being terrorists, all with the epithet paki.

...whereas with the epithet Brit, the worst that's going to happen to you is that you have to release terrible pop music and are made to dance around on stage looking like a sedated mess

ireland in the 70's

just out of interest
how much time did you spend in Ireland in the 70's or muslim areas in the last 10 years?

Personal experience suggests to me that you're talking utter shite. Seeing as how, oooh, just off the bat, 99.9999% of Muslims aren't western-hating terrorists in the same way that that a similar percentage of the Irish aren't IRA. Or do they carry pigs under their arms. Except that Dr Preference, obviously...

It's never caused me or any of my friends a second's problem
I suspect it's just "acting like a twat" rather than being British that is the issue.

Which explains why Meerkans get in trouble, really.

Yes, Gonz. Yes it is.
"Brit" hasn't been used for years as a term of abuse or offence for British people. Paki has. All words were just words, once. Now, it's just racist and abusive regardless of the context.
