Paki

"Paki" is an ethnic slur that originated in the United Kingdom and is directed at Pakistanis; and often at other South Asians, such as Indians and Bangladeshis. It is sometimes used as a religious slur directed at Muslims or people perceived as Muslims (including Hindus and Sikhs) of any ethnic or religious background. More recently, references to "Paki" have been increasingly replaced by the euphemism of the "P-word". Due to reappropriation, the word has started being used by some young British Pakistanis in a non-pejorative sense as a slang term referring to another Pakistani or person of South Asian descent.
