I've never lived in Britain but I don't find the term Paki offensive.
People from Australia are abbreviated to Aussies.
People from Pakistan are abbreviated to Pakies.
It makes sense to me.

As usual, the forces (and media) revolving around the rediculious concepts of political correctness have made much hubub about a little of nothin

I think it was a trick question fossil, but either way Nigerians is the term for people from Nigeria. I do not know what the correct term for people from Niger is. Easy mistake to make i guess since they do border each other.

Seriously, do we really need both of those countries? This is the 21st Century, for Christ's sake.

What are you suggesting Apeman? Genocide of the Nigeriens? or the Nigerians? I'm sure they think they need both countries.

No, I'm pretty sure I'm officially against genocide. I'm just thinking of a merger, a consolidation of functions, and the elimination of redundancy. Nigeria has all those doctors and professors who can't get their money out of the country and want me to help them, they can use it to buy yellow-cake uranium from the Niger half of the country and sell it to the violent douchebags in the middle east who want to make nuclear bombs with it. Everybody wins, right?

Certain elements of the 'Asian community' (nice integration there ) want the Prince to apologise for his 'offence' and to spend time in their community to make up for it but they don't stop their own 'leaders' using offensive terms to describe us do they? Prince Harry meant no offence but this lot do mean to be offensive but does anyone try and make them stop and apologise? No, that would be considered an attack on a minority and therefore would be seen as being racist. Logical eh? They can do and say whatever they want but want everyone else to walk on egg-shells
