GUEST,Black Hawk still at work Britain's greatest comedian dead-Bernard Manning (239* d) RE: Britain's greatest comedian dead-Bernard Manning 21 Jun 07

GUEST,redhorse at work Blackhawk: is the term "Paki" no longer racist then?

Me They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder - so is racism!

I know Pakistanis who call each other Paki - are they racist?

Any term depends on how & why it is said.

If you called me a fat b@$£@rd I would take it as an insult - if my mate said it I would take it as friendly banter.
You must live in a dull grey world if everything is so literal.

Besides which I was using that as an example of the type of humour. It is strange that the main repetition of these jokes has been by people who oppose them.

(My parents were married long before I was born by the way).
