No, they are not a sign of racism.

They are slang terms for describing nationalities based on many years of observations. We are all guilty of occassionally using them but most of us are educated enough not to use these terms when in the company of such people. Unless it's a bit of banter on a forum such as this. If you claim to have never used any of these terms before..... I'll tell you to your face that you're a liar so stop trying to **** stir and be so bloody PC.

PAKI is short for Pakistani, black Americans can still refer to themselves as niggers, white Americans can't. Spics are Hispanics, Welsh are taffs, Brits are referred to as poms by the Aussies, Limeys by the yanks and roast beef by the French. We return the compliment by calling them frogs. And so it goes on.

We're taking about Schools here so please stop the thread creep and answer my question regarding the fairness of people buying their way in.

Harry
