Amir Khan innit blud
Pakis can't even win Indians lol, they had Paki vs Indians in sfl and all of the Indians won. A paki one fc fighter does have a victory over Thai prospect Shannon wiritichthai. But he been losing a lot and got ktfo in less then 1 min against Filipino journey man jimmy yabo. Ktfo as in put to sleep stiff.right now the only good race of fighters in the middle east are afghans and iraq's, i'm paki, and the only way i see paki fighters making it into the ufc is if they train in places like europe or america maybe even in brazil. i'm not racist or anything so any champion i see in the ufc i want to train with them, so i want to travel to other countries like brazil or russia. the fighters in pakistan aren't that good because they don't have high level strikers or grapplers in pakistan. so i believe that if a pakistani trains in america or any country where their are high level strikers then they can make it into the ufc. the only good fighters that would make it into ufc would be amir khan and probably his bro.

paki?
is this like how its ok for black people to call each other z
no, paki's don't get offended when you call them paki's. black people get offended when you call them the n word.

I might be wrong but the N word was created by white people as a term to describe black people. People from Pakistan were calling each other Pakis long before it was ever used as an abusive term by anybody. I believe that's the main difference.
i doubt pakistanis were calling each other paki before it started being used as a racial slur. i could totally be wrong about that but even in their language and neighboyring languages they are referred to as pakistani. regardless, its a risky way of addressing them and all youre doing is saving yourself a couple of syllables by not saying pakistani.
I can 100% guarantee the abbreviation happened long before the racial slur.
source?
I don't have one. Think about it though. Did the TS and the millions of other Pakistanis across the world who describe themselves as Paki a) Learn the term from ignorant racists. or b) Learn the term from older members of their Pakistani families who've been abbreviating their nationality for generations.
The racial slur was first recorded in the UK in the early 1960s. Are you seriously suggesting nobody from Pakistan ever abbreviated their nationality until that date?
A.
as a person who can understand urdu (pakistan's language) and farsi (a language that heavily influenced urdu) and pashto (another language spoken on pakistan's western border and in afghanistan). i have never heard of pakistanis referring to themselves as paki outside the english connotation of how blacks can call eachother z. from what i have heard in all 3 of those languages, pakistani is said as pakistani.
Christ, you cannot be serious. What can the word "Paki" possibly mean, other than "Pakistani"? What does the word "Brit" mean? "British". How is it 'racist', and what does the word 'racist' mean? Oh - you mean 'white people who simply want to live around their own kind, in their own countries, and having nothing to do with other races, and therefore be unable to hurt them in any way." You obviously believe that white people, and ONLY white people, have to give up their successful countries to every other race on the planet. Why?Isn't paki racist like calling japense people japs?
Anyway they won't have any great fighters unless mma/boxing/wrestling/judo is a top sport there.
pakistani's from England are considered some of the most racist people in the country.really my cousins a british pakistani, and he calls himself a paki a lot. and hes from the uk.
lol i dont know about UK but here in canada calling a pakistani a paki is the equivalent of calling a black guy . its also used by racists as a slur against anyone who is indian/arab/bengali/afghan etc.
but i have noticed that my pakistani friends call eachother paki and they are okay with me an afghan calling them that. but to pakistanis i dont know, i always say pakistani and to my friends if a stranger calls them paki, thems fighting words.
Yet TS isn't from the UK, freely uses the word and was oblivious to how it could be offensive. The same as a lot of Pakistanis you encounter on the internet. Are you saying that since the early 60s the term was invented by people in the UK and has since been reclaimed, accepted and spread around millions of Pakistanis throughout the world to the point where many don't even know it was originally a racial slur? You think that happens in three generations?
Tbf though, I've played my part in derailing this thread enough already I'm gonna bow out before I get carded.

i can't do anything else to convince you.
Convince me that the British invented the term Paki as a racially abusive term only for Pakistani immigrants to say "Wow, I never thought of abbreviating my nationality before". Then somehow the small number of Pakistani immigrants in the UK managed to communicate the term to millions of Pakistanis worldwide before the internet existed in a couple of generations? No, you can't.
