I had to look it up. Pajeet is a racial slur in SE Asia, apparently.

Leave it to 4chan to import all the slurs from around the world

[-] Wolf@lemmy.today 27 points 2 days ago

Perhaps even less surprising, this particular racial slur apparently came from 4chan.

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I am seeing the slur in Instagram as well.

[-] Wolf@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago

By came from I mean it originated from there.

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

Is it actually a slur, or just a stereotypical sounding name? Because if its the second isn't it just like Barry eating his 3rd pie and chips of the afternoon with a pint of wife beater?

It's both a stereotypical sounding "name" and a slur in the way 4chan uses it. They don't mean a specific type of Indian person, they mean an Indian person. It's not used like how some Brits use 'Barry' to mean a foolish person or Americans use 'Karen' to mean an entitled person.

I'm pretty sure it isn't even actually a real name, it just sounds like it should be to racists.

Yeah probably this. There's other examples, like calling Soviet citizens "Ivan" in a derogatory way.

Sometimes Internet racism really confuses me. So Indians are in this case bad because they are.... particularly likely to be Musk stans? Forgiving of rich people who fall from grace? Just generally not hateful people? I don't get it.

I don't know anything about Indian people to comment on how they are but in general, yes if you have an ounce of forgiveness for Elon or anyone like him you are a bad person. His kind should have absolutely nowhere to turn to at this point after the damage they've done. They're beyond salvation, anything less than excommunicating them from society is enabling them.

You mean S Asia? India isn't exactly east...

Not the point.
