“I explained to you multiple times why it is. If you can’t understand the very basic logic that refusing to call somebody what they want to be called is derogatory then you’re an idiot.”

No. I understand fully. People shouldn’t be called what they don’t want to be called of of basic respect and civility.

I did some research and am challenging your premise.

Your facts.

If your premise isn’t true it doesn’t matter what the logic is.

You did not challenge my premise. I never said the word was derogatory from the start, I said it’s derogatory to continue to use it. Doesn’t matter where the word came from. Doesn’t matter what it translates to. The word “Eskimo” could mean “way better than us” it’s not their name, it’s not what they want to be called. Continuing to call them that is derogatory.
