    it’s just a pun-infused pop culture reference

    Pejoratively, and based on his race. I suppose you’d argue it’s fine to call a Japanese man “Mr Miyagi”, or African American man “Kunta Kinte”?

    This is the same shit racist, conservative bigots do, and it’s not OK just because it’s aimed at them this time.

      You’re wrong. There is zero indication of judgement of Indian people. You’re just white knighting and it’s annoying to everyone else.

        Lol, “annoying”. Good. Most people don’t like their racism called out. Those with actual merit can manage to self reflect, though. Whining about how the calling out makes you feel bad is pretty much the opposite of that.

          Frauds do like to invent reasons to feel superior. No surprise there.
