Neither Pakistani Americans nor Brits of Pakistani origin (nor anyone

Clearly they aren't racist slurs, and just as clearly "paki" is.

it's a slip that harms, why not apologize? 

             His remarks

That wouldn't matter, even if there were not millions of Pakistani
American citizens here.

Oh, but I guess they don't matter, do they?
