Topic	Eskimo Pies to drop 'derogatory' name over racial insensitivity
CanuckCowboy 06/22/20 12:11:47 PM #44:	AngelsNAirwav3s posted... When did Eskimo become offensive? Just looking up the etymology of the word, it is from the Inuit language, and has no derogatory meaning. Its not though. It derived from a french word esquimaux which means to net snow shoes or a person who nets snow shoes. Its not their name for themselves and its not like every single inuit / northern indigenous person makes snow shoes. Its the same thing an indian vs native kinda. One is incorrect and not indicative of the people hisory. --- "I got a rolla truc, look" ~ sleaford mods https://files.catbox.moe/gqwlkg.jpeg ~ by JimCarrysToe.
