Not sure if you jokingly asked it or not, but I loled.
Whether it's just the fact I haven't experienced the World as some people have on here, nor had any relationships with Pakistani people I don't know, but I really don't find P-A-K-I offensive unless used in an offensive context. Simply calling somebody the aforementioned word would just give me the impression they are lazy, and can't be bothered saying Pakistani. Same with Abo and Aborigine. Excuse me if I'm being ignorant or insulting, I just genuinely don't see what the big deal is.
**** is not considered a racial slur in our part of the world though. 'Abo' is.
I find the word 'bugger' offensive. I have a phobia of people who spend their whole life searching for insects, and I would be very happy if you could refrain from using this word in the future.
Please refer to the act of searching for insects as 'incest' rather than 'buggery'
EDIT: Many thanks to my (recently deceased) grandmother for the inspiration behind this post. The year was 1997 and we were playing scrabble. She was amazed to come up with the seven letter word 'buggery' and was somewhat taken aback by the fact that we all cracked up. She then, somewhat quaintly went on to explain that a "Buggery" is a home for bugs, much like an ant farm.
Must say until I began posting on here, I never knew **** was considered a derogatory term. Certainly isn't in Australia as far as I know.
Learn something knew every day, as they say.
Its interesting. During day 3 of the Boxing Day Test 2003 I, and a few of my mates, were called a **** by a drunken guy (obviously English judging by his accent) who was hanging around some bogans.
This was a few months befor I joined CW, however I knew that in England its used in a derogatory context from watching some English films, and conversing with people from England on other message boards.
Its funny that had I not known that, I would have legitimately thought he was mistakng me for a Pakistani, and probably just laughed it off, rather than actually realising he was shouting racial abuse.
Yet even if I was unaware that the term was racist, the fashion/tone he said it was clearly abusive, and technically I think with or without the racial connotation I should have been offended anyway, but I believe I wouldn't have been had I not already known the term was a racist insult.
Anyway, for the record, I think the term should be barred from use on this board. Its conotations are worldy enough nowadays to be insulting, and for Pakistanis that call themselves that and don't like that it has been turned into an insult in England, I understand why they'd be confused by it being censored. But it needs to be done anyway. Blame the English
I'd never heard the term "jap's eyes" to describe the hole of a penis before. I won't add much to the discussion other than saying that my penis hurts after reading Goughy's posts.
