Do you find the term "Eskimo" to be pejorative? Most Inuits I know do.

I'll tell 'em to bring some next time around then!

The Algonkian stories were lies and slander, I always thought as much.

And I have friends up in Northern Quebec near Deception Bay. When they fly down to montreat the bring chicoute berries, arctic trout and caribou... sooo tasty ^{_^}

Wiki quote: "The primary reason that Eskimo is considered derogatory is the questionable but widespread perception[4][7][8][9] that in Algonkian languages it means "eaters of raw meat."[10][11] One Cree speaker suggested the original word that became corrupted to Eskimo might indeed have been askamiciw (which means "he eats it raw"), and the Inuit are referred to in some Cree texts as askipiw (which means "eats something raw").[10] The majority of academic linguists do not agree.[citation needed] Nevertheless, it is commonly felt in Canada and Greenland that the term Eskimo is pejorative.[1][12][13][14]"

And I was told it referred to an Algonkian old wife's tale saying Inus would eat their kids in time of great cold and unbearable winters if they weren't able to go out and hunt. And thus was pejorative.
