Synopsis

During his investigations into the British National Party (BNP), academic researcher Andi Ali has come face-to-face with the brutal reality of racism in the UK. Threatened as a 'Dead Paki Walking' Ali has been beaten, stabbed and even abducted, and is included on the Neo-Nazi Redwatch hit-list. Ali s academic research in to the BNP has made him powerful enemies who have warned him to stop his activities. When he refused he was viciously assaulted outside Downing Street and left for dead. In Dead Paki Walking, Ali explains how his investigations started and of the means members of the far-right have taken to smear his name in order to stop his activities. As an autobiography, Dead Paki Walking is written in the first person and reads like a dark and sinister political thriller. The frightening fact is that the BNP are attracting an increasing number of supporters. If nothing else, Andi's book epitomizes the maxim 'know thine enemy'. This disturbing autobiography is a tale of one man's battle against racial intolerance, which Ali has fought everyday to uphold the liberal values in which he believes.

Yes, this post partly advertises book but I think it's very relevant news and to the issues many post here.

the Title Is highly Offensive, the "P" word is highly insulting, I care not what his book is about you do not use the WORD to sell anything.
Because you consider yourself Asian is of no consequence, the word offends me

Having met Andi Ali at an Anti Nazi League protest a few years back, I can tell you that Ali is deffo Asian mate, he doesn't need to 'consider it'. What an fking silly thing to say.

And I sir are a Pakistani born British man, unless you have a problem with that and I think that using the term P**I is offensive no matter who uses it, a white man or even another Pakistani man.
The term is offensive and having "good intentions" is not any excuse for using such a derogatory term .
The Mods should remove this post for publicizing racist language.

What do you expect?

It may have escaped your notice but Ali's book is clearly about the racial harrassment he has suffered from Neo Nazis because of his academic work on the BNP. It may be a 'derogatory term' and a 'racist term', but what do you expect in a book about an Asian student's autobiography on the racism he has suffered.

Mr Ali is a living legend and the person the BNP most feared in the last decade.
