It’s about context though. Given the history of Britains colonization of Pakistan, the word p*ki is obviously going to be more offensive to British Pakistanis. To you it may just be like a shortening of the word, but to them it’s considered a slur so we don’t use it.I don’t think words should be policed. I think people need to look at the intention behind them.
Moving to the UK, I without being told or knowing, shortened Pakistani myself. It just seemed like Kiwi or Aussie etc Plus in other countries it’s not offensive.
But I find people in the West in general get far more offended by things than other countries
My point was why is that word considered more insulting than all the other words. I didn't say that word was less insulting.Are you black? If you’re not I guess that’s why the N word doesn’t seem as bad to you as the others you listed, but all the words are as bad as each other in my opinion. I heard someone call my boyfriend the N word once and I also heard someone called my friend p*ki ( don’t even like to write it) and I was equally disgusted both times.
People can be such bastards, I’m sorry you’ve experienced racism
I’d say probably because of the association of the word with the trans Atlantic slave trade. The other examples that you gave don’t have the same association.My point was why is that word considered more insulting than all the other words. I didn't say that word was less insulting.

I will have put all the washing away, washing basket empty then it feels like I blink and there's another basket of washing to put away and another load of washing ready to put on. It's the same with recycling, feels like you've just put 10 things in the outside bin then all of a sudden there's another 20 things that need to go out.
Exactly. Competitive compared to what, a brain surgeon or a carer ?Job adverts with a "competitive salary".
Either disclose a salary band or piss off please.
Time to get a lock hun.My neighbour putting his rubbish in my wheelie bin. Last time I took a bag out on Wednesday, it was only half full. He's put 3 full bags in there since then and filled it up.use your own bloody bin
Take it out and put it on his driveway if he has one, or leave it on his doorstep if he doesn't. He won't do it again (this is what I did to my neighbour, who now dumps his rubbish in other people's bins but not mine.My neighbour putting his rubbish in my wheelie bin.

I feel your pain, last year our new neighbours had the Kitchen remodelled, For FOUR BLOODY WEEKS, drove MotherMy neighbours are having an extension built.
Their builders have been using a drill/ jackhammer since 8.30 constantly. It's being used to take down their outhouse, which is attached to the opposite side of their house from me. I'm separated from that by 4 rooms and yet it feels like the drill is in the bloody room with me. My desk is vibrating!
Oh god poor you, building noise is the worst.I feel your pain, last year our new neighbours had the Kitchen remodelled, For FOUR BLOODY WEEKS, drove Mother
and myself mad.
They better do some serious arse kissing, ours didn't say jack shit, not even an apology.Oh god poor you, building noise is the worst.
The drilling went on til 4.30. I don't even think they had a lunch break.
They're having an extension built so I think we probably have a few months of noise to comebut I'm really hoping not all of it will be this noisy.
You'll be glad you're not my neighbourThey better do some serious arse kissing, ours didn't say jack shit, not even an apology.
