He referred to officials in Pakistan as "paks." Bush used the term "pakis" a few years ago and caught hell for it. I have read where both terms are considered slurs, especially among Pakistanis in England. And then I have read others saying "paks" is a more politically correct version of "pakis."
Anyone know the answer to that?
