The fact that you took the bait and believe you know the word is offensive (when you don't), shows how willing Democrats are to use the racist card offensively. The simple fact is I asked a Pakistani if he finds the term offensive and he doesn't. What Pakistani do you know who finds the word offensive? What Pakistani do you know would compare it to the pejorative term "japs"? Or are you simply taking the word of a partisan Democrat who's wife worked for the Clinton administration as fact? The onus is on Dee Dee Myer's husband to find one Pakistani who finds the word offensive, then quote the source. And on those, like yourself, who recently chided the President for his lack of decorum. Your response is exactly what I am talking about. With no evidence you're willing to use the racist card, compare the word to japs and criticize someone for using an epitath when there is no such evidence that exists to link the two. Did you previously believe the word was equivalent to japs before Dee Dee Myers husband mentioned in his article? Or are you simply restating without knowledge a new PC word because it fits your "get the Republican President" agenda? I suspect the latter, and it's one of the main reasons I would never consider supporting the Democrat party.
