nope - in heatworld today that he's not to be sacked - he's apologise profusely for it and therefore he's keepoing his job

Apparently his dance partner has also come out in support of him, saying it was a misunderstanding.  Offensive word to use though.

When I hear that famous people have used this or that offensive word then I think that the particular word must be a regular part of their vocabulary for it to just 'slip' out in the heat of the moment.
I never use that word so I can't imagine any circumstance when I would say it

I have to restrain the urge to use a certain P word to describe that Tony Beak fella.

I can actually think of a few to describe him - and I like him, but not that stupid comment he made.

It's okay as she isn't Pakistani anyway. 

You are a shocker Daniel pmsl.

My mates kids are biracial - their dad is from Sri Lanka - and they used to regularly get called the P word by some of the local charming kids. My mate said she wouldn't have minded so much if they had called the kids 'dirty singhalese b's' instead of dirty P word b's.!!

I'm part Sri-Lankan aswell and the kids at school used to call my dad P**i all the time. Had no effect as it wasn't factually true

Joking aside, it's all about context as ever.  I doubt very much that it was used in an explicitly derogatory way even if the word is not used now by the socially-aware.  If he had said: you look like a pakistani now, then would it have been reported?  I doubt it.  It's probably the same thing in his head.

I got called that name once by a couple of chaps in their 20's to 30's showing off in their car on the main road, i'm mixed race you see and was in my mosque outfit when I had to go there.

You probably don't want to hear this but I always think blokes look dead sexy in those.  I only just manage not to drive by my local mosque perving at chucking out time.  It's ironic really as I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be the opposite of sexy. 

Sorry.

PMSL bet you took a fancy to the hats then, recently a Mosque by us was vandalised with racist graffiti and some peoples houses who we knew, dubbed in paint and car tyres slashed apparently it was the BNP, that ruled out the original thought it was some kids.

I live in Leicestershire and we're pretty multi-racial and fairly well mixed together here.  The clothes I'm talking about are cultural Pakistani I suppose.  Longish white shirt, coloured tabard, and white chef-type cap rather than a skull cap.  I think it all looks dead cool.  I'm guessing you're part middle-Eastern so maybe 'mosque gear' was different for you?

Bloody BNP.  I don't think we've had trouble like that although the local 'Albanian carwash' had some painted abuse on one of the walls.  When I saw it, I wanted to go and paint it over immediately even though the carwash was open as I was so embarrassed by it. Out in the local mining villages, I think the BNP thrive for some reason.
