Injun/Injin, is a racialslur used to dehumanize and humiliate indigenous Americans. Injun is the Native American equivalent to the n-word. Injun was originally coined by Christopher Columbus as he mistook the American Indigenous for west asian Indians. However unfortunate, the slur injun was and is only used against American Indigenous, meaning west asian Indians who do not have American Indigenous heritage cannot use it to reclaim it.
If you do not have American Indigenous heritage it is racially offensive to use the word injun.
Injun is not pronounced like “engine”
