I remember my friend using it here in NJ directed at a kid in our class who was from Pakistan which I found pretty odd as my buddy’s family is from Egypt. I’d expect a little solidarity but I guess middle school is not a great time. It’s definitely not very common here though.

It sounds like you’re not from the UK; there’s a lot of violent hate towards South Asians there. People have had their houses burned down while they’re called this very slur just this past week.

It’s Paki, a racial slur for South Asian people common in the UK.

Nah, it’s a regional racial slur common in the UK, Paki. I’d compare it to how people outside of the UK don’t realize it, but spaz is a heavy ableist slur over there too.

I’d generalize it to South Asian brown people in general as racists aren’t exactly geography experts

Well that’s just a forgone conclusion as it’s a day that ends in Y

I’d be offended by this if I could read

Ugh I don’t miss having to parse someone else’s regex at my old job.

Ah the gulf of sarcasm

Some of them are understandable and offer solid suggestions, others are vague in their suggestions or offer up alternatives that would just be confusing to a reader.

It’s full of nope.

I cannot take this seriously.

Guess I’ll use my mind reading powers?

Hey, at least this time the republicans aren’t jerking off to nonsense tariffs, right?

Ah I have wondered what the root of the nickname was, just not enough to look it up. I mostly figured it was a bastardization of Gunner

Easily the most overrated president imo. The fact that his signature economic policy, trickle down economics, has been shown to be empirically false, and yet people still love him, is astounding to me

Yeah history is rhyming a little too much. I see echos of Jackson blowing up the Bank of the US any time Trump cries about the Fed. Cant wait for our panic of 1837 part deux

It’s not a surprise to me that this is happening given Donnie’s love of another failure of a president, Andrew Jackson. Andy had a White House inauguration party which he brilliantly decided should be open to the public. It became such a disaster he had flee to get clear of the crowd (20,000 people showed up… which is crazy given this was 1829). The party only ended when the White House staff moved tubs of booze and ice cream onto the very lawn this stupid octagon is on to get all rioters party guests out of the White House at which point they locked the doors.

I really fucking hate Andrew Jackson. Anyone that says anything positive about him automatically goes on my dipshit list.

Camel crush?

Stuff like this is what makes me laugh when I hear some chud waxing poetic about “traditional values”. Their definition of traditional is always completely arbitrary.

Texas is where the very last slaves were freed, Galveston to be specific. That said, it’s been celebrated in black communities (on and off because racism) outside of Texas for over a century
