A few weeks ago comedian Frankie Boyle (who seems to grow less funny with every passing month) caused a nasty sort of stir when he used various racist slurs in one of his routines. One of those words was 'Paki'.
Given that 'Paki' is considered quite an offensive term, I'm not sure who really thought up the names for these Disney characters...
The potential for miscommunication is immense.
"Where's Billy?"
"Oh, he's up in his room playing with a little Paki..."
