Perhaps it would be if people from Pakistan had been welcomed into our society with open arms and affectionately been referred to as our new Paki immigrants, but as it was/is, it originated as as a derogatory term and often coupled with "bastard" or "go home", and therefore continues to have highly charged and emotive connotations.

Also, it seems to be used to refer to anybody of South Asian descent, which is fairly offensive in itself. People who may or may not have ever been near the country of Pakistan will still be referred to as "Paki". I'm sure you adore being called English when you holiday aborad.

I dont know why I'm replying seriously, I can only assume that you are surely taking the piss.
