"Pajeet" is racist as fuck. We can hate scammers without being racist.

I don't see how it's any different from calling Russians "Ivan" of Germans "Fritz". It's not a nice thing to do but I'd place it pretty far down on the racism scale tbh.

Ivan or Fritz are real names/surnames from those countries which have completely different meaning now compared to how they were used in wars. Pajeet is a made up name only used so far to hate on Indians/ South Asians.

Calling russians Ivan and Germans Fritz is also racist, even if the names are legit 😁

It might not be as bad as calling Indians Pajeet, because there's less contempt, but still!
