From my e-mail to the [sarcasm] Master of Universal knowledge and Wisdom [/sarcasm]:
"So, the question is.....the term Paki is offensive to Pakistanis (generally speaking) or not?"
....and the reply:
"yes it is considered offensive by many people. ...blah, blah, blah-blah-ba-ba-baaa..If you know PAK means "pure" while PAKI doesnt Mean anything its is a slang word. So aviod using it as many wont be happy to be heard as PAKI.....instead use PAK people."
And so it seems that not one person on the entire trip corrected me, probably just overlooking my mistake out of politeness.
