Any word used can be considered racism unless both subject and object know its intended use. Personally, I feel "Paki" alone is simply an abbreviation for "Pakistan" rather than a racist insult unless used with something profane. Remember, racism is when someone considers a certain race to be inferior to other races, and acts DISCRIMINANTLY on such thoughts. The line "That paki's amazing the way he done that awesome somersault" should be considered a compliment rather than a racist remark.

Yes, he was being racist. Unfortunately, people do not treat others in the way that they themselves want to be treated. His point has nothing to do with you, and is likely the result of the frustration he was feeling because of his alien status and the recent immigration ballyhoo. No he isnt worth you going to jail. Why dont people realize that they are being racially insensitive when comments like his are being made? Racism is not the one way street that most people believe it to be, and it is often an excuse for poor behavior.

It's not offensive at all... They were not such a well-intended guys. Well, I'm from Romania and if someone asks me if i speak german.. i just say "no, i don't".

Let me answer this with a question - How exactly are Poland and Nigeria similar? This is the assumption you make in your question - I believe this is an unfair argument - and racist at that.

Your obviously a Pakistan fan but the truth is that when Australia are on song and playing as a unit, no team in world cricket can hold a candle to them (their record speaks for itself). I'm, of course, talking about proper cricket (ie test) not the hit and giggle form (good for a laugh and filling coffers). No team has been so full of record crushers in the history of cricket (even the "Invincibles" and the "Windies" of the eighties). England caught Oz on a "sticky wicket" (ie injuries - poor form - less than ideal preparation). Note: Pakistan will never be a top performer in test cricket until they learn to play as a unit, as in the Javed days....and until they start producing world class domestic wickets.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH LUCKY2BEALIVE.  they are hypocrites.\n\nHe's just saying this poster "ME" accused me of being a racist but he's doing the same thing.

They're two completely different countries. Why anyone would get them mixed up is beyond me. The only similarities are the similar names and the border they share.

In lots of ways Australia has a good outlook when it comes to embracing\nthe different cultures present.  The only problem I see is the absolute\nhatred of the aboriginal race.  I can't believe how accepted it is to bash\nthem. It really is a shame.

No need to go to any link when someone uses a racial slur against Whites.  And you say Whites are racist?

I am British (Welsh) and am never going to hand over my freedom to any Muslim ranting nutter.\n\nSadly our government is so completely full of PC bullshite that any attempt to stand up against these pieces of scum is attacked as "racism".\n\nThey allow foreigners to come here, take our homes, jobs and freedoms but we are not allowed to stand up against it for fear of being accused of racism. \n\nOur last Muslim landlord (they own half the property in our cities and rip off their non-muslim tenants) stole £5,000 from us, sexually harrassed me, left us with no heating or hot water in the middle of winter and his house which he charged a kings ransom in rent for was mouse infested.  When I tried to complain about him I was accused of being "racist" because he was a Pakistani muslim.  Oh by the way, the guy was also a crook who went under loads of different aliases.\n\nMy BF's boss was attacked and beaten unconcious by a Pakistani Muslim neightbour wielding a police truncheon.    He ended up in hospital with head wounds requiring 15 stitches.  When the police questioned the Muslim guy he said that he did it because BF's boss had called him a "Paki".  So they let the Muslim guy off for this vicious attack but arrested BF's boss (still in pain and suffering from his head injuries) for "making racist remarks".\n\nYou see what we're up against???

Unfortunately there are still people out there that are still racist, they are not used to different things. They do indeed bring back crafts and gifts and I do not understand that either, if they hate the people so much, why visit the country if you're not going to have a positive attitude and a good mood to go with it. I'm British myself, as some of you may say we are moaners because I have come across people on holidays where they are rude to the locals when all they are doing is running around backwards for them to make sure their holiday is as comfortable as possible and there is no pleasing them! I find this frustrating too, and thankfully you can tell everyone else that this Brit is not the same as the rest. I am so friendly to the local people and I appreciate their culture, language and respect their country. I love to travel and yes, some racists are two faced, when they are confronted with someone of power they will hide away and act like the cowards they are! This is pathetic of them and I myself am ashamed that in this day and age, there are still people who are prejudging or stereotyping people of a race or nationality. This just needs to stop because quite frankly it's getting boring!

Hello Rae,\nI clicked on your question as I too was curious about this person after seeing the post you are referring too. I think he was indicating the match was rigged in our(Australia's ) favour but now I have learnt something about this person, I doubt it was awarded to him to do us any favours....lol. That sounds like a bit of a disaster. Australia and Croatia have strong ties in relation to football and I think they will both cope and handle the angle the media is playing just fine. As to how they will handle the ref??????????????? Sorry I didn't actually answer your question but gosh I'm a little concerned now!!!!

You speak of them as if they're another species. Yes, I've seen a PERSON of mixed Asian and black heritage. What's your point?

Only and Only mixing more and more with internation people will make u understand and ease the tension the world is having for a quite long time now.I am a bangladeshi and been to australia and stayed there for 7 years-and that really made me understand why the Australian authority always rejects south east asia's peoples application to allow them to stay in their country---its not xenophobia(fear of aliens) as the south east media would like to potray about the mentality of australian people.I am not gonna elaborate on that,but I know now that most australian people are one the most honest,decent,fun loving,kind hearted nation on earth.I met the british,the greeks and a lot of other people to understand that they started to hate the muslims or arabs or asians only after the media started this dirty game of potraying foreigners(from arab and asia)as evils.If u are an american,u r now potrayed as evil as well in the middle eastern too.But,to be very honest-if u could go pass the media mayhem and say hello to an young bangladeshi,you are definitely going to end up being freinds.....every human being has the same emotions....but he or she is right now a bit of hesitant because of the media.Remember one thing,If u are looking at an animal and feel scared,it is also feeling the same about you.And this rule is applicabale to human beings too.....bye for now.Have a truly nice life full with friends everywhere in the globe unlike the politicians.

I agree with the comment about the first act on our soil is a crime.  And to wave their former countries flag about and demand ANYTHING is preposterous.  It is your former country for a reason, correct?  If it is your current country, here's your ticket.  If it is truly your former country, then for crying out loud ASSIMILATE!  I believe we were founded as a melting pot, not a storage shelf for your old icons and lifestyles.

Well, you should keep in mind that to some, that question does seem a bit racist. Even i find it a bit like that. and plus, you did just offend about a billion japaneese people. way to go, you single handedly managed to piss off a whole nation lol.
