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.

It's both a stereotypical sounding "name" and a slur in the way 4chan uses it. They don't mean a specific type of Indian person, they mean an Indian person. It's not used like how some Brits use 'Barry' to mean a foolish person or Americans use 'Karen' to mean an entitled person.

I'm pretty sure it isn't even actually a real name, it just sounds like it should be to racists.

Yeah probably this. There's other examples, like calling Soviet citizens "Ivan" in a derogatory way.
