It never fails. There is always an argument at least once a month in which someone deems it improper to use the term "Eskimo" and demands that I say "Inuit" instead.
For fucking fuckall fuck's sake, Inuit is a nation. Not a race. Inuit is to Eskimo as Cherokee is to American Indian. Referring to them all as Inuit is the same as calling all Asian people Chinese.
The person in question wasn't even Inuit; she was Yupik.
