Short for Pakistani. A slur found in Britain considering so many Pakistanis have migrated there.
It's used against anyone who looks middle eastern with brown skin.
I had a relative called that in the UK. She is brown skinned hispanic.
From that I figured, brits arent very smart.

Your kidding right?
But just in case. Paki is a term used to refer to people of Pakistani origin. But here in the U.K. It's more commonly used when referring to people from the subcontinent in general, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh..etc

Originally by: Ejit Edited by: Ejit on 02/06/2011 15:41:35 I'd say what you hear is just friendly banter. There is a strong regional divide in what's considered humour.
I'm from the U.K. And our humour is traditionally: self-deprecating, sexist, religious, racist, homophobic and my personal favourite, toilet humour
I'm not gonna lie, I'll admit I find all the above very funny in the context of a joke. But just because myself and others get a laugh out of it. It doesn't necessarily reflect our personally view.
I understand your point, but if someone tells a racist/sexist/? joke and there are no minorities around to hear it, did racism/sexism/ occur? In the U.S. when you hear someone start to make a point by saying "I'm not racist,but..." you just know some racist crap is about to come out of their mouth.

Quoting this because it's the sort of thing that gets said a lot to excuse racist / sexist jokes, however I suspect the real reason so many people go along with it is because its the path of least resistance.
If you're genuinely going to take a stand when someone makes a joke that's out of order then you'd better be prepared to stand up for yourself in a shouting match on TS, not to mention that people who don't conform to the lowest grade of 4chan humour are easy to frame as outsiders or trouble makers, as demonstrated by this quote.

It is people like Ejit and Loofer who are displaying weakness here, not the OP.

I never got that. People call me a Brit (short for British), or Americans Yanks (never met an American offended by that term either, and I guess Amers wouldn't work, maybe 'cans?) and it is not racist, but someone calls a Pakistani a Paki, and it is somehow terrible.
Random thoughts:
Try using the n-bomb while black, in a conversation. Now try it while white and spot the difference in response.
Why does ginger mocking not evoke the same response as mocking a member of a racial group?
trollbait: is racism prejudice if they really are inferior?

The topic of Racism and Sexism is best suited to another forum than the EVE Online forums. If you feel a player is being offensive and harassing other players please feel free to file a petition with the GMs.
