[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - she is using it as the Hindi word. She has Indian friends. My concern was it could make her appear racist. [/quote] Using the word “beta,” pronounced “beh-ta” was common at my kid’s W last year. It refers to the term of endearment for a generation younger than you in Hindi. There are a lot of videos online of younger South Asian kids mimicking their parents or grandparents and making fun of their parents and the term “beta” comes up. [/quote]
