          I don’t know whether it ever was, but it definitely got co-opted by racists as a slur in the UK. A pretty bad one too, I gather. Whether it’s been reclaimed, I couldn’t say. Personally, I’d steer very well clear of it.

            I did not know that. Fixed it. So “Pakis” is offensive but “Pakistanis” is not right? Or should I call them “people from Pakistan” or “Pakistani-American” lol I don’t get these SJW things 🤦‍♂️

              Not referring to a group of people as a slur isn’t really an “SJW” (are you stuck in 2016?) thing.
