Talking eskimo

[freewheat]

Anderson had the talking eskimo video
linked to his website apparently. Now the
eskimos are up in arms and he removed it.
Should have used german I suppose. I know
I would have been offended. EYEROLL.

Its on the cbc (surprise, surprise, who
else) saskatchewan news site.

What a joke.

would you have been offended if he called you nazis?
the work "eskimo" is akin to calling black people "******"

Mind you Anderson is a fundamentalist so he probably thought this was ok

[grrrr]

I guess the fans of that Edmonton football team will have to be carefull. Come on!

[freewheat]

I suppose being called an indian is
offensive to indians?

[freewheat]

If someone said I was a nazi due to my
german roots, I would laugh and say my
grandpa fought against the nazis. Nazi
and german are not the same thing. Eskimo
and inuit, well, lets see.

[mustardman]

Next time your north call an inuit an eskimo , tell me how that works out for you. lol

[freewheat]

Sure thing! Next time your in Germany call
a german a nazi. See how that works for
you!

In Algonquin Eskimo means raw meat eater.
That is exactly how they ate seal blubber, raw.
It's their culture, entirely accurate.
No reason for offense.

Mustard your a little retard here.
From books I have read and only read never been there gotta go but innuits are an incredibly welcoming people. So far as their house is your house if you need a shelter and in need. They will take care of you. If you tel them they are an eskimo your more likely to get your head kicked off from the innuit laughing and kicking on the floor from laughing. Like having 3 foot long skis on your sled other than 10 foot. Stupid guy.

"eskimo is akin to n*****"
Mustard--you not only wear footed pajamas, I think their full of s***!

In Alaska the Eskimos still call themselves that
and aren't offended by it.

Does anyone seriously think the clip was
purposely trying to offend the Innuit? We are
becoming a politically correct nation that takes
offense to anything even if we know that there
wasn't any intended insult.
