      Huh til. Never heard this before. Gotta be honest tho I’m kinda surprised its a slur, don’t get me wrong I won’t be using it, but it does feel like a “good” shorthand for Pakistani.

        Seriously, I’ve heard people say “Pakis” as a short for Pakistani in a non-insulting way, similar to Spaniards or Aussies.
