Pajeet, originally a common Indian male name, has developed into a racial slur for people from India.
The slang name refers to a very stereotypical, Indian man.
It is unclear exactly when “pajeet” went from a standard name and turned into a slur, but the first sightings were definitely on 4chan in the early 2010’s.
When posting or commenting on 4chan, all users are anonymous, however, there is a flag next to your username to show which country you are from. People started responding to users with the Indian flag as “pajeet”.
