I agree.

Paki or Pakki? I always thought of it as a diminutive of Pakistani.
This word is very derogative, like "n*gger" (), at least in Britain (I don't know in USA), so I agree with Savage here.

Other words, like Moor or Moorish, have an historical reason to exist, within a cultural and religious as well as geographical context.
Absolutely correct, in fact, one can read it in history books.
