      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.

      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.
