[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] Well, since Omega didn't, I did. One of the things about working in pizza delivery is, you tend to work with a great deal of people who have recently come over from other countries. So, anyways, I asked three Pakistanis about being called 'Pakis.' Two of them have been in the U.S. less then five years (and Ahmed's English is pretty far from anything close to good). I don't know about Ayudin's educational background (I do know he served in the Pakistani Army, if that means anything), I know that Ahmed has a degree in the engineering field (and was laid off from that job after 9/11). The third (Rehman) came over when he was about three (this is the guy who gave me my grey hairs when I was a manager at Domino's and he worked for me). He's got a degree in accounting from Penn State and works for a firm in Towson. Rehman said that 'Pakis' was an insult. Ahmed and Ayudin both said they didn't think of 'Pakis' as an insult, but I don't know how much faith I can place in their answers, since they've both shown a high willingness to be very accomidating to anyone who has either been in the country longer then them, or speaks English better then them (Ahmed especially). So, it's sort of iffy. [/QB][/QUOTE]
