I can agree it’s a little bit racist and wrong to tell the story using that sort of slur, and honestly I kind of think likely the entire story is very racist due to being fake and made up to get a laugh at the expense of Indian people, but if it’s real it seems worse to be knowingly bringing harassment down on your coworkers by intentionally antagonizing people for a laugh when you’re supposed to be doing your job, I think that probably does more actual harm.
Scammers targeting people who have been scammed already is so common and they are incredibly brazen about it. Basically every post I see on smaller crypto subs on Reddit where some hapless individual has lost money somehow and is asking for help, half the response comments are obvious scammers offering to privately ‘assist’ them through their problem in DMs.
