"Saibashi" in Canadian Japanese

[janilta]

Hello,

So you did actually hear Mrs Tsunota use the word 'saibashi' for
Amerindians ? This is interesting.
I think there is not much that can be learned through writing as this
word is by no means standard Japanese. Ro-maji (no 'n') and katakana
(basically foreign words but not only) being the only possible options.
There cannot be logical kanji or kanji-hiragana compositions for a word
born and used in Canada.
The pun reference to 'saibashi' (long chopsticks) might not be for
humour but for phonological resemblance. Just a guess.
