      You probably don’t.

      I looked it up after not hearing the term before.

      Tap for spoiler

      It’s a slur for South Asians. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pajeet

        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.

          According to the link above, and the Hindu American Foundation, it’s not a real name and is exclusively pejorative.

                From the wiki:

                The implication makes fun of a typical Indian male’s name.

                Doesn’t say it’s not a real name though. Neither does the screen cap of the tweet.

                  And what does it say right above that?

                  An invented term for a South Asian person.

                  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

          It is possible that there exist a few Indians with the name Pajeet, but it is definitely not a common name here. I’ve never met a Pajeet.

        So is the implication that all Indians think Mush is a hero?

        Antisemitic…? It’s just a general racist term towards Indians

          “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory relies on the idea that elites, Jews (a diffuse entity) are organising the ‘replacing’.

            Yes, but the term “pajeet” isn’t linked to that afaik, other than that people who support that theory are racists and racists use the term “pajeet”.

      It’s an Indian, from India. Not Native American.
