::There are many, many sources which treat it as such, e.g. [this](https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/infosys-ceo-referred-to-colleagues-as-madrasis-claim-whistleblowers-2120511): "Infosys Chief Executive Officer Salil Parekh allegedly referred to independent directors D Sundaram and DN Prahlad as '''"Madrasis" -- a slur often used to mock those from southern states'''" [[User:SourceIsOpen|SourceIsOpen]] ([[User talk:SourceIsOpen|talk]]) 07:10, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
::: This is a really sensitive subject, but George definitely ''seems'' in the wrong here. It does appear to be a word used negatively. I do not understand why George reverted [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Madrasi&oldid=965927440 a very constructive edit] to the page. There are numerous sources there which clearly state that the word is used, pejoratively, to make generalisations about a large group of people. The word is not a demonym anymore, and the revert made the page actively worse. Best to defer to local sources in this particular case, especially ones which highlight a CEO of [[Infosys|a pretty big company]] being in trouble because they used the word. Similarly, the earliest edit on this talk page mentions that it is a slur. It’s definitely a slur.
