Knowing the ins and outs makes people laugh and cry. Why do we call the Indian "A San"?

Calling an Indian "A San" is a derogatory term with racial discrimination. "India Asan" comes from "Shili Yangchang" (in the old society, Shanghai concession area was still Shili Yangchang because there were many foreigners and foreign goods flooded; Later, due to borrowing the Shanghai dialect of Wu dialect in the old Shanghai period, Wu people liked to add the word "a", while the words related to "three" in Shanghai dialect (three, eighty-three, beggar, stone three and pig head three) were mostly derogatory. India was once a British colony. In the British Concession in Shanghai, there are often "civil servants" transferred from India who are responsible for some chores. These Indians are loyal "minions" of the British, dancing around with batons all day. Civil servants (especially police officers) in the British system have long been used to being called Mr, and Shanghainese have always been used to adding an "A" before monosyllabic words. So after the Shanghainese shouted, they called Ah Sir Ah San. The word "India III" is very popular, which means that China people ridicule India.

In addition, people at that time described the monkey as "A San", and all foreigners looked like monkeys, especially Indians, so they were called "A San".

There is also a saying that because of the colonial reasons, Indians need to know English to be civil servants, and because they know English, they also like to put on airs in front of China people. Usually, when they are not fluent in Chinese, they will unconsciously add "I said ..." (I said ...) Because my pronunciation is very close to "A San", so I call them "A San".
