  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.

    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?
