Really? That’s the single most offensive word you could call any South Asian person even though it’s specific to Pakistanis and people from Pakistan use it without considering it a slur? It’s the most offensive word for South Asians even though a significant number of English speakers are unaware it’s even an insult? That’s quite a bold claim! I think at this point you’ve overstating your case. I’m not interested in going around and around on this subject, so I’ll say this one more time: we’re aware the word can be used as a slur and we moderate it accordingly. I think the moderation in this case was appropriate, and frankly, since you’d already taken the thread off topic with this gem:
I didn’t think it was necessary to press the point that “Paki” can be offensive. You’d already made that point in much more inflammatory and distracting terms than I would have.
