Hot Box is a derogatory term referring to Indian people. The historical context behind this slur comes from the Amritsar Massacre. The massacre entailed the British opening fire on a crowd of Indian people in an enclosed building with 3 small exits (allowing little to no people to escape). The "Hot" in "Hot Box" refers to the heat of the ammunition and people and the "Box" refers to the enclosed building the crowd was stuck in. Hot Box and HBox are regularly used as a means to degrade Indian people.
"Fuck you, I wish you were stuck in that Hot Box with your ancestors"
or
"You're lucky I'm not sending you to an HBox right now"
