...what?

Do you think "Thai" is a slur or something?

    It's a racist dogwhistle. You tend to pick up on these things when you grow up in a deep red county of a red state.

    In English, the usage of "Thai" in this title is an attributive adjective; this describes the noun immediately succeeding it. Which in the title is "spyware".

    It's an event that took place in Thailand, on Thai phones, to Thai politicians who are accusing Thai politicians. Who is being racist to who? ติ๊งต๊อง ฝรั่ง

    You and I already know that.

    This is being reported by an American news company, to Americans, many of which are functionally illiterate and get outraged over Arabic numerals being taught in school.

    And frankly - why are you so pissy over me attempting to clarify the very obviously misleading title? We are clearly on the same page.
