EN: Indian
Refers to someone from India. But let's be real, sa Pinas, when you hear 'Indian,' your mind often jumps to the '5-6' money lender on a motorcycle. 'Nandyan na 'yung Indian!' means 'Time to pay up!' It's a widely known stereotype, often used without malice but can be problematic and is best avoided.
From English 'Indian'.
The term is sometimes used stereotypically to refer to South Asian money lenders, often in the context of '5-6' loans. This usage can be considered pejorative and is based on a generalization.
