The word "paki" was coined in the 60s when South Asians (Pakistanis, Bengalis and indians) were verbally abused, harassed, physically abused, some even killed because of their background. All because they were deemed to be "Pakis". So yes it is a racial slur https://twitter.com/shushumoow/status/1252985728147038214
Even to this day we are racially abused because of our race I have no idea why these lot want to deny this
No it is not as bad as the n word, the historical background of the n word is incredibly tragic. However it is still a slur regardless don't look down on what our people faced
Btw before u start the whole "only Pakistanis can say it", the word was used on ALL south asians not just Pakistanis. Furthermore it was coined when Bangladesh was called east Pakistan so yes they most definitely can use it
