After finishing the voicethread, my answer is still the same because sometimes when people say Paddy Wagon they might get offended but in some other cases, it can mean a joke so it all depends on who says it and when they say it. This term sometimes show nativism and sometimes not because different people might look at the word differently which can also change their meaning from people to people so sometimes it is nativism and sometimes not.
