@RynlunaThere's bound to be someone out there who would call me racist for using the word "******" or however the hell it's spelt to describe someone from Pakistan. I wouldn't fall on having a Pakistani friend to protect me though.
I've LIVED there. And they quite freely use the same word among themselves. Because 'Stan' means 'land' - it's ******-Stan. ******-land.
It's the western world that bastardized the holy crap out of the word to make it derogatory, like so many other words.
*lifts riot shield against high-and-mighty/politically-correct types* Just to be clear, I don't actually use the word purely because it doesn't come to mind enough to talk about.
