But the ice cream bar is very deliberately what we USED to (and some people still insist on) calling this group of people. Complete with a picture of one of them. But that’s not their name. One quick search in the engine of your choice shows very clearly that there is still a kid dressed like an Inuit on the boxes, right next to (and sometimes holding) the E in Eskimo.

You know, I’ve looked more in to this and I do not buy it that Eskimo is derogatory or that any majority of people who fall under the category think it is derogatory.

It’s supposed to be derogatory because supposedly Eskimo means “eats raw meat” in a language spoken thousands of miles away from the arctic circle.
