I have Salvadorian in-laws that play a similar looking game called “loteria” which is similar to bingo and played at family gatherings. I assume most Central/South American countries have a similar game.
At best, it sounds vaguely like marica, which is another common slur, but just like my reply ti some dumbass claiming veado and viado are the same in Portuguese, you would have to have some sort of developmental disorder to think Marieke and marica sound the same, or completely ignore Spanish orthography.
Is it because of Jeff Gordon? Is that why 24 is gay?

That’s quite the leap. Must be a very well-known game, with a board that never changes.
It’s an incredibly culturally impactful game, including in slang: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jogo_do_bicho#Cultural_impact
Oh. Thanks. I never knew any of this. Also, TIL that the last name of one of my favorite authors, Paulo Coelho, means “rabbit.”

A friend of mine one introduced his girlfriend to a Colombian friend. He was quite surprised.
He name was Marieke, he heard maricon (pronounced quite similar) that’s a Latin slur for gay too.
Thanks for filling in the etymology!

Oh deer
I looked it up, and allegedly it comes from a well known gambling game about animals, in which 24 is a deer, and “deer” sounds similar to a slur.
Until I’m corrected I’m gonna assume this is why
