Well, stan means "land of the" so Pakistan literally means "land of the pakis"
Technically you were perfectly correct to use it in that context. Sadly, a few pricks used it in a negative manner so now it's a blanket term used to mean middle eastern by thick people.

Pakistan means Land of the Paks, not Pakis.In the same way Aghanistan is the land of the Afghans, not the Anfghanis, and Turkmenistan isn't the home of the Turkmenis.
