I was called a racist today for pronouncing Pakistan as 'Paki-Stan' instead of 'Pak-Stan'......

Was the "offended" party Muslim? That would explain it.

I was accused of intentionally using the word 'Paki' in a racist manner. Political Correctness gone mad? WTF!!

Shit!...I've been in some shops owned by 'pak-stan' people and there I have been telling them how much I like their 'pakistan' stuff.

If they hated me I didn't notice.

Then why is their country called 'Paki-Stan'!!

The names are compounds of -stan and the name of the people living there. Pakistan is a bit of an exception; its name was coined in 1933 using the suffix -istan from Baluchistan preceded by the initial letters of Punjab, Afghanistan, and Kashmir.

It is called Pakistan by Pakistanis - but obviously not by Euro-Islamic facsists.

Haha. Good question. I think someone from Pakistan is supposed to be called a Pak. Don't worry. We call 'em Pakis here, too. There aren't enough of them to get too threatening about it in Alabama, though.

The correct pronunciation isn't "PACK-stan." It's "PAH-kee-stahn," as our illustrious leader reminds us every time Pakistan comes up.

I think "PACK-ih-stan" is acceptable, too, but not "PACK-ee-stan." It's a subtle difference, but apparently an extremely important one if you're a Paki.

I ain't too worried about it. Too many rednecks with guns here, yours truly included. There's a lot more low-hanging fruit in non-Muslim lands before they get to us. Y'all shouldn't have given up your guns. What does the IRA think about all this?

I ask one question, did you pronounce or mispronounce the name on purpose???

If yes, then muslims consider mispronouncing a persons or countries name a great insult.

If you did not know the proper way and meant no offense, then you were not being racist, no matter what anyone tells you.

As in pronouncing it Ameri-KKK-ah has an important difference?
