We had a labourer who was called "PakiJack".
It never worried him in the least back then.
He was of "mixed blood" actually, had nothing to do with the
subcontinent. I only found that out after years.
We have a Pakistani handyman locally - Jamal Fixit.
My last girlfriend, slightly bemused by the large number of Asian-run
newspaper shops in a small area, called them newsasians. I do like an
apposite neologism!
close to Tv Centre in the 60s was an asian run "Cash& Carry". It was
known as 'vendapaki'
We have a local diamond drilling firm called Rahjinder & Sons Ltd.
The slogan on their van is "You have tried the cowboys, now try the
Indians!"
