Islamabad’s policy of deporting all undocumented foreigners will have widespread repercussions.

    I did not know that. Fixed it. So “Pakis” is offensive but “Pakistanis” is not right? Or should I call them “people from Pakistan” or “Pakistani-American” lol I don’t get these SJW things 🤦‍♂️

      Not referring to a group of people as a slur isn’t really an “SJW” (are you stuck in 2016?) thing.

      ? Pakistani/is is correct. ‘Paki’ as a slur has been around for decades, unfortunately, so qdJzXuisAndVQb2 was correct to mention it, as it would be a major uninentional faux pas on your part!

      While I’m here, why is it an ‘SJW thing’ to help someone not accidentally deeply offend someone else? Would explaining to someone not from the USA that you shouldn’t say the n-word to an African Ameirican be just an ‘SJW thing’?

        I definitely don’t want to hurt anyone with my words. However, it’s a bit funny to find a different word to avoid offending a group, then find that word offensive and find another word. At the end of the day, all words changes but people still find a “word” that slurs “that” group.
