Now Jurassic World Comes Under Fire for "Racist" Dinosaur Name

For a change it has nothing to do with the Confederate Flag...

Trying to give the Pachycephalosaurus a shorter nickname might have been a mistake.
It was a slur 65 million years in the making.
In Jurassic World, there's a scene in which the protagonists learn that a group of dinosaurs, called the Pachycephalosaurus, have escaped. For shorthand, they call the group of dinos "Pakis", which American audiences may not realize is an offensive slur in the U.K. — referring to people from Pakistan.

Pachycephalosaurus
There are many great examples at the Natural History Museum in NYC. They're the ones with the little helmets.

Triggered?
Is this offensive to dinos or Paki's? I'm not sure, but I'm triggered either way.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm surprised they did that. I knew that was a slur for Pakistanis. But I have a Pakistani friend.

Hey Obama, Is that "Pakis", or "Pockis"?

I HAVE THE RIGHT TO NEVER BE OFFENDED. THE WORLD SHOULD EXIST FOR MY COMFORT AND TO PROVIDE ME WITH POSITIVE FEELINGS.

So what does this have to do with Bobby Jindal, confederate flags no longer being sold on Amazon and God.

Holy shite. Everything now days is racist or offensive.
It's a good thing we live in the USA where we have the right to avoid (not watch) things that may be offensive.
