minus-squareBeNotAfraid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up29arrow-down2·4 个月前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.

minus-squareemergencyfood@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 个月前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.
