minus-squareBeNotAfraid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up28arrow-down2·20 天前It’s actually a name. Pajeet is a genuine Hindu name. It’s a pejorative, in the same way “Paddy” is both an Irish name and used as a slur for Irish people.

And from CubitOom’s link: An invented Indian-sounding given name And from the sources cited on Wikipedia: a derogatory made-up Indian name originating on 4chan in 2015 First seen on 4Chan, The term “pajeet” is an ethnic slur, coined as a derisive imitation of Indian names
