What do you think about a Dinosaur name in ‘Jurassic World’ which is so ‘Racist’?

Many people are impressed with the movie Jurassic World.
However there has been an uproar in Britain and other places which are sensitized to any and every "racial" issue. Some moviegoers began complaining about one of the dinosaur species in the movie called Pachycephalosaurus. Characters in the movie used an abbreviation, and thus the movie line that came into question:
“The Pachys are out of containment!”
Packy is considered an insulting term for Pakistani's and other south Asians.
"British comedian Mobeen, also known as “Guzzy Bear,” took issue with this term and called for a boycott of “Jurassic World."
Personally I think this is much ado about nothing.

This is an AMERICAN film. I doubt that the producers would know that "Paki" was a racial slur in the UK. I certainly didn't. Movies are suppose to provide a suspension of disbelief. If I saw a horde of Pachycephalosaurus running around, I'd want to shorten it to when I warn someone. All these people thinking that everyone is racist is really starting to tick me off. Lighten up. If I don't like you, its definitely not because of your skin, its because you are an unlikable person in general in my opinion.
Besides, Pachycephalosaurus just sounds stupid when you yell it out.

People are just too damn sensitive these days and that's part of the problem with society today. Really, with all the legit societal issues going on around us today, this is what people choose to get upset about. For me, this is a non-issue.
