Subject: RE: BS: No such thing as British...
How is it possible to have such a far-ranging discussion and not use the term "ethnic"?
How is it alright to refer insultingly to an Australian as an "Aussie" and to a Frenchman as a "Frog" and an Irishman as a "Paddy" and get away with it, yet to refer to a Pakistani as a "Paki" is deemed a criminal offense almost?
Something is wrong somewhere.
