Doesn't he always? It's all he ever does, unless he posts a loaded question to confirm his own prejudices. To then start the wiggly dance to evade outright replies.

It's much worse than that where I live. I've heard on several occasions white people say, "Racism doesn't exist anymore except for when people talk about it."

However there's still more racism towards blacks than whites.
I think you mean actual Pakistanis and Indians, right?
Never heard of a Hispanic person being called a Paki.

Wriggley dance = using logic and words to debunk your claims.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

I mean anyone who looks like they're even remotely from Pakistan gets called a "Paki" even when they're from all sorts of different nearby countries.

So, if it's not a bullshit accusation + repeatedly wriggling out of answering then:

Again, that is ridiculous!! You must be the only person who can actually cannot tell the difference. For a majority, in fact a very large majority of Pakistani men in the United Kingdom wear their own clothes including headgear. Secondly, those who are capable of growing a beard at puberty are not allowed to shave. The women wear traditional clothing too and wear trousers to stop showing their ankles. Same with a Sikh, who wear traditional turbans, and have a bracelet on their wrist, or married women with their bindis to show the other men that she is not available.
Your ignorance is showing, comparing a traditional Pakistani to someone who is hispanic. I'm guessing you are an American.
