Considering "paki" means "pure", I don't see why it's a slur.


It's not. It's just people freaking out.

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.
Wasn't this said like 50 times in Zero Dark Thirty? I had no idea BTW.

Wouldn't they technically be called "pachys"? They just happen to have the same pronunciation.

Maybe it's like shortening Jewish to Jew. It's only offensive if you put some stank on it
