== History ==
The predecessor to Xavier Uncle, Pakalu Papito started as a Twitter account created in 2013, but more Pakalu Papito accounts were later made on other platforms. The [[Anonymity|anonymous]] account's first post was "hello twiter i am single". The Pakalu Papito account was used play an Indian clerk at a [[convenience store]]. The account was known for the [[self-deprecating humor]] posted about the fictional character, Papito, who supposedly ran the account. The face used by the account was that of Om Prakash, a faculty member [[IIT Kanpur|IIT-Kanpur college]]. The original Pakalu Papito [[Facebook]] account had a link in its about section, which went to the Facebook page of a Lee Nova, who had an avatar of a [[White people|Caucasian]] person. The account has been accused of [[racism]] for playing to [[stereotype]]s of [[South Indians]]. All of the Pakalu Papito accounts were suspended in 2018, alongside the disappearance of Lee Nova page.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=January 13, 2025 |title=Who Is Pakalu Papito?
