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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Fuck that. I don't care where they're from. Scammers don't deserve to be treated with respect or dignity. They are subhuman trash and ruin people's lives.

"Pajeet" is racist as fuck. We can hate scammers without being racist.

I don't see how it's any different from calling Russians "Ivan" of Germans "Fritz". It's not a nice thing to do but I'd place it pretty far down on the racism scale tbh.

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.

TIL it's not even a real name

Nope. Closest I can think of are Prajyot and Pradeep.

It does look a lot like Paget, which is a French name pronounced differently
