Indeed but what bothers me more though is when they don’t change their name. Like when the Minneapolis Lakers moved to LA and the New Orleans Jazz moved to Utah.
First guy, innocent, sort of. Second guy, let an eskimo slap him. Once.
“Do Eskimos smell?”
No more than the Frenchie Frogs or the SF Scum do, probably.
Come get me, PC Police azzholes!
But you've not seen nothing like the Mighty Quinn!
I don’t know but I’ve been told
Eskimo pie is mighty cold...
I take it the stories of Jack London and this song are no longer welcome in Canada.

Means son, don’t go near the Eskimos
Please do what I say
My daddy was working
For the weather station
A little bit North of Nome
And I grew up in that frozen country
Where the nights are six months long
I used to play like I was an Eskimo
I put whale oil on my hair
And every night I would beg my folks
Let me sleep in the frigid air
I was seventeen and my voice was changing
But the girls didn’t thrill me none
‘Cause I longed to go see an Eskimo
On the banks of the old Yukon
One night I slipped from my daddy’s house
A little bit north of Nome
I knew that I could get back by morning
‘Cause the nights are six months long
yes that too but I think its like a tough hazing :)
Sheesh.
Now I understand why there have been two shootings in parliament.
5.56mm
***because it was given by non-Inuit people and was said to mean “eater of raw meat.”***
Which reminds me, I will have to break out my copy of Nannook of the North and Savage Innocents for rewatching.
Usually I only do that in a hot summer.

Reminds me of the Jack London tale of an Eskimo who was washed out to sea, saved by sailors, traveled through Canada and the USA, then years later returned home to find the smells of his native camp sickened him as he was no longer used to rancid fish and skins.
Liz Warren wrote a cook book called “Pow Wow Chow”
Nothing wrong with saying Eskimo.
ESKIMO

Hope I triggered a pc baby to death with that.
To Alaskan natives, the word Eskimo is analogous to the “N” word, just like the word squaw is to the “c” word. Now, I’m no PC speech nut, but IMHO, cultures have a right to determine which words are offensive to them. Italians, Jews, Chinese, whites, blacks, Hispanics, Alaskan Natives and any other cultural group. I don’t think people should lose their jobs over it, unless, perhaps, in the case of a politician who uses what amounts to dirty words, about his constituents. The guys who got in trouble, may not have, if they hadn’t followed up the word, “Eskimo”, with the words, “Can you smell them?”.
Remember how incensed we were about the Stzrok/Page remark about “smelly Wal-Mart people”? That offended us. If it’s ok for us to be offended by that, then it’s reasonable that there are certain words that offend others.
Never apologize. It does you no good and is like chumming the stalinist sharks.
We need a wall on our northern border, too.
