Etymologically speaking, there exists a scientific consensus that the word Eskimo comes from the Innu-aimun (Montagnais) word ayas̆kimew meaning "a person who laces a snowshoe" and is related to "husky" (a breed of dog), and it does not have a pejorative meaning in origin...

I hope these companies that do this sort of thing lose a lot of money on this nonsense. They deserve to go out of business.

Most likely it was a Anglicization of an native word. Much like how aroughcoune is Algonquian, and racoon is the English version. Regardless even European last names often came from landmarks near where a family lived. The Italian name Bevilacqua means drink the water and probably came from people who lived near a well with sweet water.

I wonder if a certain brand of cut tobacco would be offensive today?

Pie is obviously wrong so Pi is probably wrong too.
Which means we will have to rethink EVERYTHING.

Agreed. I don’t mean to suggest that the word is actually racist. Just that the left is trying to have their cake and eat it too, by claiming that the word is racist and obscuring the originator of their claimed racism.
To: edwinland
The most commonly used names for any tribe were what their neighbors called them. Which makes sense since they were generally the ones whom the explorers met first. The names often were not complimentary.
Of course the names most tribes give themselves mean some variation of "The People" with the rest of the world being "Not-People". Which means that in the literal sense of the word their names are quite racist.
Learn to shrug and get over it.

Eskimo not derogatory and the Inuit used to eat raw meat(blubber and fish). Some probably still do.

White liberals decided Eskimo is derogatory because they need all the excuses to point fingers that they can get their vermin claws on.

I eat sushi and sashimi.
Reminds me of the MASH song. .. Oh Tokyo. ...
In Japan, the northern native people are called Ainu.

I lived many years in Hokkaido. They are proud of their heritage.
I think the Eskimo people are great. I really hate this PC crap. Stinking liberals are destroying our country.
