    No, it isn’t. -oid suffix is also used by a lot of people to mean like, ,“pseudo”, like “humanoid”, this is something my funny brain-poisoned third worldist friends say. & when it’s derogatory it’s no more spicy than saying cracker.

    It doesn’t mean “western R word” it means “someone who is spiritually a Westerner or above”—many English-speaking Filipinos on Twitter with anime profile pictures are Westoids. It does have usefulness.

    I was called a Mongoloid in 4th grade due to not being hotdog colored so I wouldn’t find that funny.
