    Ivan or Fritz are real names/surnames from those countries which have completely different meaning now compared to how they were used in wars. Pajeet is a made up name only used so far to hate on Indians/ South Asians.

      Calling russians Ivan and Germans Fritz is also racist, even if the names are legit 😁

      It might not be as bad as calling Indians Pajeet, because there’s less contempt, but still!

        It’s not about “Less Contempt”, it’s like using Nigger instead of Tyrone or whatever.

        I don’t understand why racists cling to their bullshit so hard, it’s not even good lol

        “Oooo uh, you said Ivan, how racist!” like it’s the same thing, stfu moron.

          Someone needs to take a chill pill. I did say “pajeet” is worse (and I’ll add that it’s on a whole other level of offence), and somehow that makes me a racist. Sure bud. All I was saying is dehumanizing russians or germans is not OK 🙄

            And your two examples are also super offensive. Replacing one with the other makes no difference. You’re not making any sense, but I guess you’re not yourself when you’re malding for no good reason.
