P word? Can't say paedophile anymore because it hurts their feelings? Should we say "person who loves children more than me" instead?

    I wasn't aware that was a thing.

    Oh how creative of the British, to create a slur that's half the name of people their heritage. Guess I'll refer to the English as Engs from now on. "Oy bruv, it's them Engs innit. Free the north of Ireland!"

    You gave me a P and a long underscore line 🤷

    So it's P * * *

    I don't know, other than pedo. I give up.

    But reading from the article and comments it's a British word that has something to do with Pakistanis. I'm not familiar with that word, I'm not from the UK and have never heard it during my visits there or in the British media I've watched (I'm Dutch). I knew the British in general are rather racist, but I didn't know there was such targeted hate towards the Pakistanis. Wtf did they ever do to those colonistic inbred posh fucks eh?
