Because it has generally been a derogatory term for people from Pakistan or India. Pakistanis dont call themselves Pakis the way we call ourselves Brits.
And just before someone starts saying that they overhear pakistani youngsters calling each other it I think its in the same way that Black people have retaken the word "nigger" for themselves.
