What annoys me is the fact that the guy probably is from Pakistan anyway.... Paki is short for Pakistani..
Aussie is short for Australian... We use Yank for the Americans..... what is the big deal???
Our Prince was using the term... affectionately......
It is the army!!! Yes but it is also reality.
I personally do not call Pakistanis Pakis...out of choice... but do not see the harm unless it is being used in a malicious manner........ ie in racially tense or provocativer behaviour! Isn't this being PC lark going a bit too far?????
