Comment on Bait or r*ta*d*ti*n. Call it.

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.

    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.

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.
