Talk:Eskimo
From Academic Kids
I'm wondering whether this information should be in Inuit.
- I am moving it there and putting a redirect. - montréalais
I don't think that Eskimo should redirect to Inuit. Groups like the Yuit and Yupik are also 'eskimos', and don't want to be called Inuit. --Jfpierce 06:25, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit]
"Eskimo" doesn't mean eaters of raw meant?
The article says that the belief that the word Eskimo is an Indian word, meaning "eaters of raw meat", is incorrect. It says so without citing a source. Well, I was taught that it meant "eaters of raw fisht", not "eaters of raw meat". I think the article should back up this assertion. -- Geo Swan 10:09, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
The word 'eskimo' is actually a condescending term, it's better to used the word inuit
