    So if a fellow such as myself was to use the the word 'Swede' to decry Swedish people with negative intent would that be considered racist too?

      Yes it would. But it's more than that. The word paki is derived from the term paki bashing which was a hate crime in the 80's where South Asians were beaten and murdered in the streets. It's more than just an abbreviation.

            Exactly. A better comparison is Afghan and Afghanistan.

                          So if my intent is not negative and based on logic and basic use of the language where Brits are British and Afghans are from Afghanistan then it's not offensive.

                            But sometimes it's best to check the waters first. A woman used to use the word Paki shop because where she came from it wasn't offensive and we quickly advised her to not use it here.

                                It's a racial slur in other parts of the world as well.
