(hah-gee) n. offensive slang; disparaging term for arabs, especially those of Islamic faith. First used by US military forces during the early stages of 2003 Iraq invasion.
Too many Hajis moving into this town.

Haji is a title in Islam for one who has completed the pilgrimage to Mecca (a rite known as Haj), as dictated by Islamic faith.
It is most commonly used in an ironic manner toward Muslims who have not completed Haj, and has expanded to a general derogatory term for Arabs.
However the title is an honor to those who have completed Haj, and is not restricted to any single ethnicity.
Afghans typically cannot afford to make the pilgrimage west to Mecca, and are particularly insulted to be called "Haji".
Muslims in eastern Europe may be offended by to be called "Haji", since many erroneously consider all Muslims to be Arabs.

Some of these are close, but it is important to note the etymological roots having their origin in the old Johnny Quest. Only more recently (read IRAQ War I) has its use broadened to pajoratively refer to a broader cast of brown people, esp. turban wearing.
There's a whole nest of Haji's over there, suggest we send some mortars downrange.

Haji - The Indigenous savages of Iraq.
We flew over the berm on 25 April 2003, got stuck south of Baghdad due too a 12 hour Shamal with a bunch of Marines, H-46 guys. Flew through Baghdad and West past Fallujah to a shit-hole called Al Taqaddum (TQ) on the 26th. In general conversation with some of the 101 KW guys the term "Haji" was used and the rest is history. Some of the better used terms were;
I Hate Haji - How to finish most radio transmissions.
Fishing Haji - Savage in a boat.
Goatboy Haji - Goat or Sheep Fucker, err herder.
Haji Arts and Crafts - Savages making IED's (Improvised Explosive Device) some savages in a mud hut blew themselves up(said it was a gas leak).
Cataract Haji - Savage you cannot shoot, but can continue to "Target Locate" with the LRF(Laser Rangefinder) Laser Hot Message appears soon after.
That "Haji" motherfucker just ducked in that mud hut, stashed his AK, took off his man-dress and is standing right there, the fucking ground guys can't do a fucking thing now.......

Again, taken originally from the old Johnny Quest cartoon series from the 70's.
Generally expanded to be a derogitory term to anybody from India or Pakistan.
"Goddamm Haji stole my call-center job and ran away to Bangalore with it!!!"
