Re: Political Correctness
still...it's not about the actual meaning but what it means to the people who use the term...
I used it once on this board, when I drove into a gentleman from Pakistan, and got told off...and I truly only thought up until then, that it was an abriviation, like you would say he's a Brit...(which, I have learned since, can also be a negative thing...)

MH, unfortunately the term was/ is used in a derogatory way in Britain.

Re: Political Correctness
A friend of mine is married to a Pakistani who hates "pakis". He uses it as a term to describe the lower class uneducated Pakistanis in England.
