It can get worse that that. Just think - Taffy for Welsh, Jock for
Scots, Paddy for Irish, Pom (whinging) and Tommy for the English,
Yank for Americans, Aussie for Australians. The list is endless.
Would someone like to tell me just who the hell is the racist one here.
Paki is only an abbreviation of Pakistani, and if I really wanted to
be nasty to a Pakistani it would be the inflection in my voice as I
said "Pakistani".
