Well, you know, I believe it was Mark Twain who said (paraphrase) that once you have called someone human, that's it. You can't insult them further.

Jonathan - Thank you and I stand corrected. I also apologize to any Inuit that may have read my post.

What is curious to me is that the people who come up with these things are 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 but "white or whitey " not?
It is time we began to get a little real............
I mean it IS insulting to be called say, a Texan but that is different!
