If you're heading to the cinema to watch a Hollywood film about dinosaurs, you wouldn't normally except to encounter racism.
That was British comedian Guzzy Bear's thinking when he went to watch Jurassic World this week, during which he was surprised to hear one character in the film utter the line, "the pakis [sic] are out of containment".
"I was shocked, bro," says Guzzy in the YouTube clip uploaded to his channel on Monday. "Apparently there's a dinosaur called Pakisaurus."
"Unbelievable, it's broken my childhood memories!" he continues. "It got to the end of the film and I said quite loudly, so everybody could hear me, 'There ain't no such thing as a Pakisaurus'. The old man over here, as we're walking out of the cinema, pulls out his phone and says, 'I've just Googled it, have a look.' And he's not even lying!"
But let's rewind a minute – is there actually a dinosaur called Pakisaurus, and is that really the line in the film? Well, yes and no. It turns out that while there is a species known as Pakisaurus, the one referred to in the film is actually the Pachycephalosaurus (they're the dome-headed ones that are good at head-butting stuff). So the actual line is, "the pachys are out of containment".
Meanwhile, #Pakisaurus has been getting a fair bit of attention on Twitter and Guzzy's video is being shared like crazy.

Best way to deal with slightly awkward racial moments is actually to laugh about them #Pakisaurus — Shakeeb (@ShakeebYounas) June 17, 2015
