Racism, doesn't exist HW,,, (or at least ,, only in other people's minds) If a person is black, then why not say "They are black?" A person from Britain is usually called a Brit, so therefore a person from Pakistan, must surely be a ****. Nothing offensive in that, until the PC Brigade steps in. Short answer,,, No Racism doesn't exists in reality (only in others minds)

racism is to broad a term, but maybe 'raced based insult' is bettre, and thay carry more weihgt than an insult.
Plus you need to contextualize certain words... and concider the manner in which their delivered.
and then finaly consider the effect on the reciever...

Both exist.
I always spelt it contextualise as I thought it was the Yanks that ruined it with the 'z' like they do with everything else. Can't be bothered to Google which is right. There were also a further 7 mistakes in that school lads post.

I don't think calling someone 'black' (or white)is racist, I'm not sure where that idea comes from. What 'PC Brigade' are we on about here?
'Brit' is used an insult in some parts of the world, but the context of P**I is obviously different.
However, a person that thinks describing someone as 'black' might be seen as an insult might say more about their mindset than anything else......
The word PAKISTANI means land of the pure or land of the PAKS so why is it an insult to call a Pakistani a ****? It is only an abreviation, a Welshman is called a Taffy and a Welshman comes from the land of song or so I believe.

It seems to be down to skin colour. Brit is OK, Yank is OK, Pommie, Aussie, Taff, Jock, Paddy etc. Nicknames for darker skinned people are racist and hark back to when they were slaves blah blah blah. Seems a bit racist to me.
I have always questioned the context in the way you use it for example
I am going for a Indian ...accepted ok..going for a Italian accepted ok,going for a chinese is also accepted but mention going to a p@@i shop which is run by a pakistani guy and its racist
