Paki was a genuinely (vaguely) neutral term once. It's like negro used to be the polite term for black in the USA, but now it's frowned upon. But not quite the same. It wasn't that emotive anyway. Look at British 70's TV. I wouldn't get excited about it. It's like calling an Irishman "Paddy": so boring and lazy it's barely abuse.
And even as an Irishman, and thus a member of the only sole remaining ethic group it's politically correct to take the piss out off in the US, I find PC incredibly tedious. Oh look, it's an Irish themed episode of [insert show name here] and we're all portrayed as violent drunks. Again. And Again. It's a good job I've never met a US TV executive as I'd probably just beat him up and loot his mini bar.
Anyway, Scots independence. That's an oxymoron. Protestant heretics. The Scot's are England's bitch and always will be. The best that can be said for the Scots is that they're not English. You suck Scotland. Let's get drunk and fight.
