Morphology

Paki-bashing = Paki + bash (transparent) = Paki + bash + ing

The meaning is directly composed from the derogatory noun 'Paki' (person of Pakistani origin) + 'bashing' (attacking), so the referent (attacks on Pakistanis) is clear from the parts.

Etymology

Paki-bashing joins the rude short form Paki, which comes from the word 'Pakistani', and bashing, from the verb 'to bash' meaning 'to hit or attack'. So, Paki-bashing means violent attacks, abuse, or discrimination aimed at people from Pakistan.
