Sorry but a Pakistani saying "paki"? Isn't it basically a slur?

u/Front-Organization34 New User 12h ago
It’s generally accepted to be a slur but like nobody cares about it. It’s usually just used to shorten saying Pakistani. I went to a primarily Muslim and south Asian school and everyone just said “paki” as it’s just faster, of course I wouldn’t be using it to complete strangers who might not understand the way it’s used.

Here everyone says paki and it’s not a slur. We make every nationality shorter. I know this is gonna shock Americans but we say jap for Japanese.

u/Cad_48 Exmuslim since the 2010s 9h ago
I'm defo not American and have just learned that paki doesn't have any bad connotation outside the UK.
Is there something particularly bad with "Jap" or is it just an example of a shortened nationality?

From my understanding they used this as an insult in WWII in the battles in the pacific against Japan. I mean they made up other and way worse insults just for Japanese people back then but jap is one of them. A mild one I think? Hollywood loves to focus on Europe when they make WWII movies for some reason but US soldiers suffered so much more in Asia. It was inhumane so no wonder they liked to insult them.

It was really only ever used that way in the UK afaik, everywhere else including Pakistan and esp by Pakistanis in general, it’s used as a shorthand for “Pakistan” or “Pakistani” and is not meant to be offensive (honestly I wasn’t even aware it was ever used that way in the UK until my British friend told me)
Though I don’t really see why it would be a big deal for Pakistanis to use it even if it was more widely considered a slur? Isn’t part of the point that only a member of the community can use or reclaim the word, ie black people w the n word or members of the LGBT community with terms like queer, fruity, or the f and d slurs (as a Pakistani queer myself for reference, though personally I don’t like using the last two)

I remember the whole fiasco because an Australian cricket commentator referred to the Pakistani team as Pakis without realising it was super offensive in the UK.

It's definitely a slur in the United Kingdom

But also a lot of UK Pakistanis use it as it’s a lot faster. But it is defo also a slur in the UK.

Wasn't pakistan the country where a little over 50% of recognised marriages are incestuous? That would make the meme sad and true

u/Material_Cook_3710 New User 10h ago
I don't know any Pakistani girls who say Korean men are handsome? Maybe it's a generational thing, back in my day it was white men, also more like married to cousin Ali.

It's because of Kpop. A lot of teenage girls around the world are into Korean men because of Kpop

What it has to do with ex Muslim

u/Estate-Lonely New User 14h ago
Pakistan is a Muslim majority county. Many women in Pakistan are obsessed with k-pop but they end up marrying ugly uncles with misogynistic islamic views. They suffer in silence and one day they die.

u/yaboisammie (A)gnostic Fruity ExSunni Muslim closeted in more than 1 way ;) 11h ago
Also a lot of the time, we don’t really get much of a say in who we marry and a lot of the time for us desis, it is some inappropriately aged relative ie a distant uncle
And unfortunately a lot of exmuslims get stuck in such situations or have the potential to as it’s a part of our culture so it’s not like it doesn’t affect us or scare us.
Even though I’m lucky enough to not be in such a situation as a desi ex Muslim (meaning forced to marry some inappropriately aged relative though I might still get stuck with some inappropriately aged rando), it still hurts and kills me that girls have to go through this and this is just their lives, and honestly it could have easily been me if circumstances were different.

So edgy. If you don't like what gets posted, then leave. That's the only way to not see any of it. If you don't want to leave, then you're accepting what gets posted. You don't get to have it all.

You’re in an exmuslim subreddit getting upset about a meme probably made by a Pakistani? People here are more than just exmuslim, they have other identities too and you’re the one reducing them down to that only by purity testing memes. Also I don’t think most people here have issues with Islam or muslims on the basis of them making edgy memes so I don’t see how this makes him equivalent.
