RE: What is a Macaca?

A “macaca” is a racial pejorative to refer to someone either from or with ancestry from India or Pakistan.

And the “macaca effect” is pejorative used by people in high tech to refer to East Indians driving down the wages of American and British workers

It is a sad commentary on our politics and the way people think that the use of one word ( not intended to insult ), overshadows the policies of a politician, but such is life....

Most Americans allow themselves to be affected by charges of racial bias. That makes this card such a great weapon to use ( especially by those who don’t have good policies to present ).
