Unintentional racist line in 'Jurassic World' creates major row

'Jurassic World' has found itself embroiled in an unintentional controversy over a dinosaur's name.

Pachycephalosaurus pronounced (pak-ee-sef-a-low-sor -us), and the lizard-like creature has a habit of escaping its enclosure, has created a major furore on social media sites as many are planning to boycott the movie over the racial slur, the Independent has reported.

Since the name of the dinosaur is rather long, one of the film's characters refers to it by an abbreviated appellation, saying: "The Pachys are out of containment!"

Phonetically, the word sounds like the British racial slur 'Paki', an insulting term used for Pakistani immigrants.
