    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.

    And a large portion of them are being trafficked for slave labor; so that's fun

    Doesn't that actually absolve them of their shit behavior? It isn't the same to try and scam grandmas because you want a shinier car than because you're locked at a basement and beaten up if you don't make your kidnappers money.

    Sorry, when I said "So that's fun", I was being sarcastic

    But that's kinda what I was trying to get at. You don't really know if a scammer is being trafficked or not, so casting a wide net that calls all of them human garbage becomes difficult

    Imagine you're already a slave and then someone curses your mother.

    "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.

    While yes it is absolutely racist, scammers are not capable of having an identity associated with someone who is on par with humanity. They're far below animals.

    I prefer the term "demihuman" or any other dehumanizing language so they know who they are.

    Minus the human trafficked ones of course. Only the vast majority who do it willingly.

    Edit: let me clarify. I did not say using racist terminology is correct nor justified. I'm saying that people who scam others are so far removed from the identity of humanity and compassion that they do not deserve the light of day, much less the air they breathe.

    I'm a bit lost. I didn't justify using racist terms. I'm saying that scammers lack the core traits of humanity, compassion and care in others.

    And they don't deserve anything, let alone feeling comfortable in a conversation, or the air they breathe.

    That is regardless of race, sex, gender. If you scam someone else, you don't deserve life.

    I get scammed every day on a near daily basis. I get scammed when my landlord raises my rent without fair cause. I get scammed when I look at inflated sale prices at my local grocery store for already shrinkflated goods. I get scammed when I get fees and tips tacked on to my bill when I go to the movie theater or a restaurant. It’s fucking infuriating but I don’t wish death upon my waitress, the store owner, or even my landlord. It’s all just unregulated capitalism in action. Scams, big or small, make money, and money moves us forward.

    Just because some degenerate across the world with a funny accent who I will likely never interact with plays by the same rules doesn’t mean he should be thrown into a wood chipper. IMO.

    Using racial slurs isn't only damaging and insulting to the person being directly talked to or about. I suggest adopting a blanket position against racial slurs in any context.

    I didnt say using racial slurs is correct. I said the act of scamming someone is so far removed from the identity of what it means to be human.

    I never defended the terminology used in the post. Nor would I use that. Its shallow, and means far less than telling them they aren't someone capable of receiving any care.

    If you can't be made fun of, you're the bad guy.

    there is a huge gap between "making fun of" and "racist bullshit".

    Not really. It's racism when he goes around putting them down without context that makes sense or discriminates with employment stuff and whatnot.

    Lol, i said "i got mugged by n-words", its racism. when the 4chan dude says "pajeets scam me", its racism.

    Mo matter how angry you are, if you use racial slurs, you're kinda racist.

    My best friend in the entire world is Jewish. He's the most open handed guy I've ever met and I talk to him every single day. Not once in over a decade has he mentioned the over $10k I owe him.

    My boss at my job is installing a turnstile to keep track of stolen time despite how the company owes literally all of us because the system isn't tracking our lunch breaks properly and HR just brushes it under the rug. My boss installing the turnstile is a Jew.

    Conveniently enough, our CEO and my best friend actually have the same exact name. No relation. Also my bestie doesn't do the hair drills thing or the little hat.

    You're gonna probably think it's weird that I have this magnificent example of my stance in pocket, but even if I made this up(and I didn't), it's still a good explanation of my point.

    When you're mouthing off to someone, it's your goal to make them mad, and pointing out a stereotype that fits is a really really effective way to do that.
