In the since-deleted Sidemen Sunday Countdown video, KSI was heard repeating the word “Paki.” The group members, including Joshua “Zerkaa,” Ethan “Behzinga,” and others, erupted in laughter at the 29-year-old personality’s comment.
What racial slur did KSI say?
In a video clip, JJ said the following: “All right… look. We need points. All right? I don’t mean this maliciously, but the word is Paki. I’m sorry. We need points. I don’t… guys, come on!”
Simon “Miniminter” was seen clutching a dictionary during the game show and reacting to the streamer’s response by saying: “I’m searching. The dictionary includes Pakistani. It’s not, sadly (the right answer). As I said, if you convince me, it’s a legitimate term.”
KSI said that he could “speak about quite a few videos,” adding that there were. After hearing this, Vikram “Vikkstar123” said: “Stop thinking, JJ.”
The term Paki is considered as a racial slur used to address Pakistanis and people from Pakistan living in the Europe and West.
The online community responds to the streamer’s social media address.

The thing is, the others in the video told you not to say the word, and you said it anyway because "you wanted points". Thank you for the apology but you should know better.
