This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Because the insult is too insulting, or because saying it while representing a company is inappropriate?
Because he then proceeded to log onto 4chan and tell a story with racist slurs. I don't care that he wished the black death on their mothers, good for him, I care that he's racist while writing this post.
Why is "pajeet" a racist slur?
I am not sealioning here, i genuinely do not know.

racism
It's not a real Indian name, it's a made up name from a meme about Indians shitting in the street.
As far as racial slurs go this one is weak as shit.
Your attempt to use spoiler syntax didn't work. You need a space between the opening three colons and the word "spoiler".
I had to go look and I'm still not sure I understand, but it seems like it's derogatory because whoever wrote the greentext is basically calling Indians "street shitters".
Are you planning on asking the tides to stop next?
Cherry pick much?
He only said the racist slur 5 times
Yeah, but isn't the black death thing infinitely worse? You just gonna sit there and decide which bad things are bad enough to matter?
Here's the thing. This dude is butting heads with those dudes and they're gonna insult each other with whatever makes the other most mad. Here, that's slurs and black deaths.
I can agree it's a little bit racist and wrong to tell the story using that sort of slur, and honestly I kind of think likely the entire story is very racist due to being fake and made up to get a laugh at the expense of Indian people, but if it's real it seems worse to be knowingly bringing harassment down on your coworkers by intentionally antagonizing people for a laugh when you're supposed to be doing your job, I think that probably does more actual harm.
