I don't even think he means Pakistani. I think he's using the common north eastern United States slang for a "Package" Store, so called because purchased liquor must be packaged in a sealed container or bag when it is taken from the store.
I suspect Iggy is familiar with that term, and has heard people refer to "Paki shops" in the UK - which often sell liquor, and has assumed they are the same thing. I think he is unaware of a racial meaning.
@gonufc They're the only people (and I use the term "people" very loosely) who I truly do hate. It has nothing to do with race/ethnicity. It has everything to do with the fact that their religion is nothing but dark-age stupidity which they use to justify their horrible actions against civilized people. I know you'll say "well, not all of them are terrorists". That may be true, but why don't the NON-terrorists do something about the ones who bring a bad name to their religion? Fuck them.
@DLarson1083 All Abrahamic religions would qualify as (pre) "dark age stupidity". Please do not presume what I will say. I will freely admit I despise the religion, however I absolutely do not despise the people. Do you honestly think that peaceful Muslims do not attempt to quash the violent ones? In terms of divine license as justification, they are hardly alone. You cannot just hate them alone but all who use such a mindset and surely that cannot just be for violence but all hate
I'm glad I'm not the only one to consider the 'P' word no more than shorthand. When the first Asian family moved into our very white community and took over the local shop they were always referred to much as Iggy did and they didn't seem to mind as it clearly identified them as a source, nothing more. I know now this was wrong since they are Indian but my geography wasn't that great aged 7!
@aeandyevans9 Sorry mate but you are just wrong. The word (although it may have begun quite innocently) has morphed into an abusive term and whether you agree or not it is not an acceptable word to use any more. besides, if a shop is run by a white British couple don't you just call it a shop? I've never understood the need to prefix it with the Nationality of who runs it.
The derogatory term 'p*ki' is racist. In the same way walking past a shop owned by black people and shouting n*gga, or for those obsessed with syntax, 'n*gro'. You could equally argue that they shouldn't be offended by it because YOU have non-racist intentions. That's pathetic. If you're not Pakistani or Asian, you don't have a say in the matter. Those who these terms are directed at have repeatedly deemed them to be racist. Ask yourselves why this is not enough for you? Why the arrogance?
@LondonAccountant No it isn't racist, because its a nationality not a race, i believe you and the person who uplouded it men't predudice. Witch this isn't any way.
@LondonAccountant A voice of reason! I agree, however innocently the term began it has morphed into a derogatory and racist badge. people like you and I can work together and completely rid the UK of racism forever. yay to us.
@HighrockTendales I'm not for racism. But damn you'd have to be under a rather oppressive and radical regime to wipe it out. Naturally humans are xenophobic(That doesn't mean it should be accepted). But it happens just about everywhere when strangers from others places come and set up their pack next to another.
@redwraith122 'Defensive against the unknown' does not equal Xenophobia. Naturally it is simply in essence fear which would create aggressive reactions against different looking people.
I expect fear and insecurity motivates the majority of racism.
The history of the term "Paki" is no different from the use of the N-word for blacks in the U.S. Both were used as pejorative terms by armed racist thugs who believe in the inherent superiority of the Euro white majority in those respective countries. The n-word also has a supposedly "benign" origin in a word that simply means black, ie, Negro. This is like arguing that a white person can simply use the N-word to refer to a black person in a non-offensive, neutral way. No, they can't.
In most of the US the term "Paki" is considered offensive as well, tho not necessarily racist. HOWEVER ... are we sure he didn't mean "Packie store"?? In New England that's a slang term for a liquor store where you can buy alcohol in a package to take with you. (some areas have laws that require alcohol to be transported in a package, like a paper bag to conceal it)
If 'paki'is offensive so then is 'paki-stan' and 'paki-stanis' so we'll call it Stan and Stani - but that would be considered offensive. No one has any right not to be offended.
@jakesprake oh dear jakey boy, your comments are becoming increasingly ridiculous, i hope ur just taking the piss otherwise u need a little professional help. how about you come to england and say the word to a person of pakistani origin and you'll find out if it is offensive or not, just tell me where you'll be so i can watch u get the shit beat out of you. merry xmas, unless christmas offends you as well
Paki is short for Pakistani. In the UK it's considered racist but I can believe outside in other countries it's seen purely as being short for the full word.
You can call white people white trash, rednecks dumb blondes etc. You can legally discriminate against them - no problem and if you murder, rape or rob one, first it will be hushed up and second it won't be viewed as serious as if a non white was the victim. If a black commits a crime against a white there's nothing racial about it but the other way round and its a double crime even though a black is 90 times more likely to commit a crime against a white than vice versa.
@jakesprake white people have never been oppressed or used as slaves as an entire race, its historical u dumb fuck. the fact that western countries are 90% white, there is more of them to be victims of crime. hopefully by the time ur dead scum like u will wont exist much in the world and we can all get on with our lives
@SUCMADIC1000 Most whites in the U.S. are descended from slaves, it was called indentured servitude. White people have the right to their own countries without fear of attack by alien races. I don't know what race you are but your post proves the point I make, insults and ill ill.
@jakesprake i'm white and the fact that white people are decendent from black africans and all races come from the same original species of homosepians from africa, we are all the fucking same u fucking idiot, unless the neanderthals aren't extinct and your the last of them. hope yur mom gets fucked by a black guy tonight, that would be funny.
@SUCMADIC1000 We are not descended from blacks in Africa and you have just given a very good reason as to wjt its best not having them in this or any white country.
@jakesprake yes, white people come from black africian tribes some 60,000 years ago, then moved up towards the middle east meaning your ancestors would have looked like an arab person of which your probably fearful of as well. thats why you as a white person and an arab person are actually considered the same race in genetics. eventually these people moved up to europe and didn't need as much melanin in their skin so turned a paler colour as there is not as much UV-light (sunshine to you)
@SUCMADIC1000 If so , then we are further on in the evolutionary process which means blacks are inferior. But why is there no hybrid between ape and man? You just accept and regurgitate the orthodoxy without question as you have been programmed to do..
@jakesprake what i'm trying to say to you jakey boy is, get a life mate, nobody cares what race people are and if you do i guess you will die a miserable person while the rest of us celebrate our diversity and revel in it. just remember, alot of people gave there lives so you could sit in your bedroom and type this hate, many of whom were asian and black. for example, we would be speaking german right now if it wasn't for india coming to the rescue in WW1 so its time for you to grow up a little
@SUCMADIC1000 Hi Suc - and with a name like that you don't take yourself seriously and either do I and I suspect anyone else. If no-one cares what race people are and that includes Black rappers, then there's no racism and this Youtube video, this discussion, 'racism' and all the problems wouldn't exist. So to say nobody cares is a gross misinterpretation of reality. But then you're living in a world that does that, TV, MTV etc.
@SUCMADIC1000 To say people gave their lives for our freedom is another cliche peddled at every opportunity. Take some time and research it and you'll find the truth is the opposite of what you are happy to accept without question. That is why 'democracy' is the preferred system of the elites because it is a con fooling people to believe that their opinion counts. 95% of human beings are herd animals who swallow the BS without question.
@jakesprake i don't get what you mean about my name? if black people are inferior, then why is the president black. i think the years of slavery and colonism didn't help the black population of the world very much, but i think they are doing pretty good for themselves. anyway, i'm done with you now. would it be ironic if you life was saved by a black or asian person today.
There was a time when these words were not considered offensive but they did become so. When nigger started to be offensive, they were called negroes. Niggers were rapists and murderers, negroes were respectable but then it was found out that negroes as well as niggers were rapists and murderers too. So it was changed to African Americans and guess what? That worked for a while until their reputation caught up with them again. It won't be long until African American is considered offensive.
If someone was called a scumbag, why would be offended? Because scumbags have proven beyond all reasonable doubt that they're bad people.. The scumbag probably doesn't think of himself as such. If someone is called a Paki or a Nigger why should he be offended? He must know that the Pakis and Niggers have such bad reputations that he's ashamed of their behaviour, So because of said behaviour, he denies what he is!
@bossmarion well if i was a white kid in an English school today and blurted out the work 'yank' in front of a teacher my arse hole would go tighter than a camel's in a sandstorm.
omfg. waste of time. why did i think this was gonna be worth it. every pussy with access to the internet calls "this" or "that" racist. give me 41 seconds of my life back.
What's offensive, or racist about the terme Paki?... Paki means Pure, Pakistan means Land of the Pure,,, There's not a hint of malice in the way he says it either, so why the fuss....
people are not takin in to the acount that he is from a diffrent generation in his time it wasnt racist and it is the use of the word who makes it racist
@ConnbineHarvester i agree, but its only what has developed over time and with the stigma attached to it. Its like when black people tend to refer to each other as "N**gas"
Should the exclusivity of a term like that be for the use of that type of person or should it be offensive regardless of who says it.
This is why i say Money, Race and Religion are the sole three causes of all the problems taking place in this world.
@antcox2006 Pakistan = literally: 'land of the Pakis'. Just like any 'stan' - Kurdistan: 'land of the Kurds'. No one says 'Kurd' is an insult.
It became a taboo term because lots of skinheads called anyone south Asian looking a Paki as a pejorative. But the Nazis used 'Jew' as a slur cos they thought Jews embodied horrible traits - we don't outlaw the use of the word Jew now, do we?
But I still don't use 'Paki' in conversation; not worth the aggro.
@FrogmortonHotchkiss a word or term only become offensive when the person intends it to harm. Classic example is charity used to be called The Spastic Society. People call each other in the playground "Spastics" and over the course of a generation, the term became derogatory. The charity therefore became "Scope"
In victorian times, when the census was done, there were medical terms used such as "idiot" "fool" "imbecile" and people were classed as these terms medically.
This is why people just need to die or a major ass kicking. Everything you say is taken out of context or an insult. EVERYTHING. Iggy was not being racist you stupid spineless whiney pussy fucks. Get over it. These complainers seriously need to be weeded out cuz its killing the world of any kind of togetherness, fun & normalcy.
@Underground906 Actually, im not a yankee, so thats wrong. Im not fat, so wrong there again. Can anyone say something that isnt just some pussy pre-concieving and making up shit cuz they have no life or brain????? As for a big mouth, your welcome to come try to close it you smelly flea bitten foreign pussy!
Without knowing what 'racist term' he supposedly said, I watched the video and waited to be shocked, assuming that moment would be obvious. ..It wasn't. The video ended while I was still waiting to hear the 'racist term'. I was like "WTHeck..What did he say!? I didn't hear it. play it again". I started reading these comments thinking surely someone posted what the term was. I didn't have to look long before I came to Themrjammans comment & I have to say I think he/she hit the nail on the head :)
lets remember he's american and could possibly be mislead to believe the word "paki" is not racist and he thinks it is a normal way of referring to a pakistani person.
Maybe hearing it from a british person and therefore not realising the words true intent.
after all "paki" isnt used as a derogatory term in the US.
fuckin place has gone far to nice... dont get me wrong im not some asshole who shouts abuse at other races for simply looking different but at the end of the day ur a black man ur a white man ur a paki ur a chink ur a brit a fuckin paddy who the fuck gives a flyin bollix in hell?! ill call u watever i like and if u dont like it either tell me or fuckin hit me a box ya pussy prick...
Oh come on, he's american. "Paki shop" is british racist slang. He quite obviously didn't intend to insult anyone, aside from the fact he always fervently stands up for equality. and by equality, I mean every race and religion should drink and dance until they're unconscious. .
Ya know,..there's always someone who has to do it.Why pick MY comment,when others here have said the same thing as I just did.Read them.AND,..whether or not I am British is not your business. But,just to humor you,I have lived a lot of my life in Britain,with my Grandmother.Folkestone,Kent. Do yuo know where that is? I do.
@ladylusciouz I Oh we got another self righteous hypocrite retard trolling youtube looking for any racial word to call out people she does'nt even know & call them racists.Grab a dictionary and learn what racism really is you fat ignorant smelly retard. Stop sucking cock to educate yourself dumbass.
@80s90ssports I'm black you idiot and have been a victim of racism since i was a little kid, I should know it when I bloody see it!
for the record i like Iggy Pop, I don't think he's a racist, he's not british and probably doesn't know that its a bad word, but a lot of the youtube comment here are twats!
@ladylusciouz Youre the biggest nigger twat on youtube. Boo hooo you delt with racism. Who gives a fuck, Go cry to Dr. Phil you spineless pussy.Every little turd growing up now thinks they deal with racism. You dont even know what real racism is you british twat. When your cut from school or drug from a car on a rope, or forced to work in a field , then you can talk about racism to dumb fucking whiney bitch!
@80s90ssports To be fair, you're pretty much saying racism doesn't exist in the UK. You're wrong, we have idiots in our population too. Racism isn't necessarily a grandiose gross act as you seem to expect, it can be in subtext of speech and in the nuances of peoples mental image of a race or group of people. Give us all a break from your bullshit
@2napoleon6 You're a complete fucking idiot. I never said racism didnt exist anywhere you utter moron. Stop speculating,. If you cant even interpret what someone is saying, then dont message them cuz it makes you look like the complete dumbass you obviously are. I'm simply telling some whiney cunt to stop acting like she was a slave in the fields, no one cares. You faggots are way too soft today and so fucking whiney. Get a grip you self rightceous wannabe dipshit!
@80s90ssports I'd rather be 'soft' and have a care than 'hard' and not have empathy or compassion. Why does it have to be extreme manifestations of racism (i.e. slavery) for people to be affected by it? Just saying, it's easy to tell some faceless person on the internet that they ought to 'man up' when in reality you do not have any knowledge or understanding of their situation; personally I'd say they were better placed to make a judgement on their own situation than you are.
@2napoleon6 So more speculating like i have no compassion. Boy, are you a fucking king moron. Useless to talk to when all you do is make up shit as you go. Go latch back on your moms tit and change your diapers, because you must be a loser to not even comprehend words.Mega Pussy1
@BjornTuroc It is yeah. It was used a lot in the seventies and eighties as an insulting description of someone of Pakistani origin. Usually by a skinhead about to bounce his DM boots of said ethnic persons head... World class halfwit George Bush Junior used the term on live tv once too which was fairly funny lol
ah for fuck sake, he said it in passing, it wasnt racist.... PAKI'S are people from PAKISTAN, would you be offended if i called you american/english/irish/whatever?
how the fuck is that racist everyone calls them paki shops the person who put racist in the title can go fuck himself stupid cunt it's bad enough you have to have adverts constantly with all races in at least one of them otherwise dickheads like him would get offended and call them racists
..I'm Indian and I don't think Iggy Pop is racist at all, back in the 80s my uncle used to own a ''paki shop'' in Wembley lol and thats just what people called it. Political correctness has really destroyed the harmony of this nation since the 90s and it has led to even more racial tensions.
He was just using what he thought was the idiom. Iggy is not a bigot. And as Markshaddows says he doesn't give a fuck anyway. BUT for what it's worth I've worked with someone who works with him now so I know he's one of the good guys.
'Paki' is an offensive term but not in this context, its not as though Iggy said it in an insulting manner he's talking about his transparent pants for fuck sake.
Fuck that, Iggy shouldnt apologize, you know how fucking hard it is to become who he is?? He can say whatever he wants to a pathetic talk show host, the host should be licking his balls for that interview. Iggy is a fucking legend.
people are fucking idiots, i dont see anything wrong with this, i grew up in a all black neighborhood and i was constantly called white boy, i live around mexicans now and have been called the same, i mean i am white right? so WTF is wrong with paki? its short for pakistan right? dont get mad till they start saying camel jockey or something, then maybe ill see your point.
@jsol231983 lol tbh camel jockey is a fucking hilarious term, dont see why people take offence, camels are ridden in the middle east, i cannot think of one name someone could throw at me due to my race that i would be offended by
Hug my Paki friends = politically incorrect

That is why 'democracy' is the preferred system of the elites because it is a con fooling people to believe that their opinion counts. 95% of human beings are herd animals who swallow the BS without question.

@jakesprake i don't get what you mean about my name? if black people are inferior, then why is the president black. i think the years of slavery and colonism didn't help the black population of the world very much, but i think they are doing pretty good for themselves. anyway, i'm done with you now. would it be ironic if you life was saved by a black or asian person today.

There was a time when these words were not considered offensive but they did become so. When nigger started to be offensive, they were called negroes. Niggers were rapists and murderers, negroes were respectable but then it was found out that negroes as well as niggers were rapists and murderers too. So it was changed to African Americans and guess what? That worked for a while until their reputation caught up with them again. It won't be long until African American is considered offensive.

If someone was called a scumbag, why would be offended? Because scumbags have proven beyond all reasonable doubt that they're bad people.. The scumbag probably doesn't think of himself as such. If someone is called a Paki or a Nigger why should he be offended? He must know that the Pakis and Niggers have such bad reputations that he's ashamed of their behaviour, So because of said behaviour, he denies what he is!

@ConnbineHarvester i agree, but its only what has developed over time and with the stigma attached to it. Its like when black people tend to refer to each other as "N**gas"
Should the exclusivity of a term like that be for the use of that type of person or should it be offensive regardless of who says it.
This is why i say Money, Race and Religion are the sole three causes of all the problems taking place in this world.

@antcox2006 Pakistan = literally: 'land of the Pakis'. Just like any 'stan' - Kurdistan: 'land of the Kurds'. No one says 'Kurd' is an insult.
It became a taboo term because lots of skinheads called anyone south Asian looking a Paki as a pejorative. But the Nazis used 'Jew' as a slur cos they thought Jews embodied horrible traits - we don't outlaw the use of the word Jew now, do we?
But I still don't use 'Paki' in conversation; not worth the aggro.
FrogmortonHotchkiss 1 month ago
@FrogmortonHotchkiss a word or term only become offensive when the person intends it to harm. Classic example is charity used to be called The Spastic Society. People call each other in the playground "Spastics" and over the course of a generation, the term became derogatory. The charity therefore became "Scope"
In victorian times, when the census was done, there were medical terms used such as "idiot" "fool" "imbecile" and people were classed as these terms medically.

Without knowing what 'racist term' he supposedly said, I watched the video and waited to be shocked, assuming that moment would be obvious. ..It wasn't. The video ended while I was still waiting to hear the 'racist term'. I was like "WTHeck..What did he say!? I didn't hear it. play it again". I started reading these comments thinking surely someone posted what the term was. I didn't have to look long before I came to Themrjammans comment & I have to say I think he/she hit the nail on the head :)
