lot of stuff is just laziness without any thought to being racist whatsoever. think we have gone down this line before in the past. saying you are popping round to the paki shop is not a racist slur on the owner especially if he was born in pakistan. laziness comes about if the owner wasn,t born there or actually born in india. doubt anyone born in india would like to be called a pakistani. for me a racist is a person who refuses to use the shop due to its owner. same with people who shun solomons jewellers or marx the tailor.
