No. It absolutely is not. Historically it did sure, but I challenge you to go to any corner of the English-speaking world and use it in any sentence at all and have any single person hear you and assume that you mean a bundle of sticks.
Like I said, using the UK is cheating (I guess I should have specified that). I can take a walk down Butthole Lane, look up the bus schedule from Shitterton to Twatt, and then I can go pick up 6 faggots for £1.60. It’s all just part of the nature of the place.
Faggot is a real word with actual, non offensive, meanings, ‘paki’ is not.

Faggots can also be meatballs, you can walk in to a supermarket and buy some faggots, or make them yourself.
The use to mean “a bundle of sticks” is definitely more rare now-a-days though, you’re correct.
