rarely the full-blood natives of the groups but agitators.
Think for a minute: What possible unsavoury connotation can Eskimo have?
It's a little like that to me - socially grossly insulting term:
Afro-American.
How can being described as "black" be negative? Why is that a perjorative

I mean it IS insulting to be called say, a Texan but that is different!
Himagain - ducking and weaving as the bullets fly. Must tell my black mate
this one tomorrow - he calls me......... ESkimo!!
I call him Tarbaby - he is one of those rare things today - a full-blood
Australian Aboriginal. His Grandpa likes me ever since I told him I am a
guaranteed full-blood myself - 100% white - nearly Aryan... :-)
