I think you mean that the Canadian Inuit mind. Alaska Natives don’t seem to have much of a problem with it. My former boss was an Inuit from Barrow, educated at Harvard, and often referred to herself as a “poor little Eskimo girl from Barrow”. She’s now the CEO of the regional corp and probably still refers to herself that way. Canadian Inuit don’t like the word; Alaskan Inuit prefer ‘Native’, but really don’t get excited about ‘Eskimo’. Different strokes.

Heh.. You reminded me on my way back from the states last time, there was a gorgeous young lady on the plane. Strongest southern accent I’ve heard in a while. She looked possibly asian/white and she reminded me of my cousins who are half Korean, half white, but when I got to talking with her, she said (in the adorable southern accent) “nope, I’m the only Redneck Eskimo you’ll probably ever meet”.
