I get that - it sounds silly. But also people have been abused by others yelling that. I’m an Aussie. I live the UK. Nobody takes offence to people calling me Aussie. That’s because nobody was ever beaten up by anyone yelling “Aussie” at them. If I was from Pakistan that wouldn’t be true though, so the shortened version of Pakistani is considered “the P word” in the UK.
