No, most people do not realize how offensive that the word is offensive. This is a great opportunity to educate. Making a racial comment doesn't give you permission to be rude back.

Why demean yourself by answering an insult with an insult. Calling someone a'Paki' is an insult.

Just explain to him that you don't like being called that.. If he continues to taunt you, explain to him that you were ninja trained by
Mr Meagi and you'll kick his nuts the back of his neck if he does it again.. Sorted

no, hes only insulting you, by calling him such a name your insulting all Asians is that fair.
how would another Asian feel if he or she hears you call this man that, they will feel insulted, you must call this man something that is personal to him, better still id not stoop as low as him id say to him i can no more help the height i am as you can help being Asian.
good luck..xx

just call him a Bacon sarni. (pakistarni) he! he!

You can always call him a "Paki", as racial slurs are not prohibited by law. You should never do that though, regardless of their ethnic background. Chances are, he's not from Pakistan. One wrong turn does not deserve another...

I would advise instead cracking a joke. As I, too, am of very small stature, I often confront these comments by declaring that I prefer the term vertically challenged. Whether they smile or not, it makes me feel better, because I know it's true where the other is not. :)

It's ok for people to call someone from Britain a "Brit" or somebody from Australia an "Ozzie" but to call someone from Pakistan a "Paki" is deemed racist! I just don't get it!!!!

(trys not to smile, grin)...why yes, your well within your rights i'd say....


gina
no you aren't. if the police were to be involved you could be charged for making a racist comment but he won't be charged with being sizest. Some ppl i know from Pakistan call themselves pakis but they would declare war if a white person called them it.
i am assuming you're not from pakistan yourself


im2jaded04
yeah if hes from Pakistan


Damn Good Dawg
Why not? Or g.ook, nip, zipperhead. Whatever will work, depending on the situation.
