Example Sentences
- "You used to be able to e-mail some Amazon representative and get your account deleted maybe; you can't do that anymore, what you have to do nowadays is you either have to live-chat with a pajeet or you have to manually call them."
- "Apparently, Pewdiepie hates Jews as much as Pajeets."
- "A glance at the comments section of any alt-right website will confront the viewer with crude racism towards people of non-white ethnicities, not least people of Indian origin, who are variously degraded as "Pajeets," "street-shitters," or stereotyped as sexual harassers. Of course, this is unsurprising for a movement rooted in white supremacy."
- "A South Asian ‘Pajeet’ and a ‘Chinaman’ are pretty much the same creature – a quasi-human living in squalor […] This piece will not focus on Indians and their Pajeet situation, about which Han Feizi has little expertise. It will be about the “Chinaman” situation, which has dogged the Chinese for 150 years. […] Han Feizi and all Gen-X Chinamen have crowd-shoving, queue-jumping and public quarreling skills that, although they may have atrophied since we were in our prime, would have matched those of the most uncouth Pajeet."
Etymology
An invented Indian-sounding given name, originating from the Pajeet, my son meme created on the 4chan message board /int/ in July 2015, mocking South Asians. This was itself inspired by the Mehmet, my son meme, popularized on /int/ in late 2014, which mocked Turkish people. Although the name does not exist in South Asia, similar-sounding names exist, especially in the Indian state of Punjab. It is likely derived from Punjabi ਭਾ ਜੀ (bhā jī) / بھا جی (bhā jī, “my brother”, a honorific address to men), Hindi पाजी (pājī), as well as from Punjabi male names ending with the Hindi suffix जीत (jīt, “victory”), such as Baljeet and Sanjeet.
