Comment on Bait or r*ta*d*ti*n. Call it.
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks agoIs it actually a slur, or just a stereotypical sounding name? Because if its the second isn’t it just like Barry eating his 3rd pie and chips of the afternoon with a pint of wife beater?

It’s both a stereotypical sounding name and a slur in the way 4chan uses it. They don’t mean a specific type of Indian person, they mean an Indian person. It’s not used like how some Brits use ‘Barry’ to mean a foolish person or Americans use ‘Karen’ to mean an entitled person.

Yeah probably this. There’s other examples, like calling Soviet citizens “Ivan” in a derogatory way.
