Is anyone else's annoyance growing at the way SJW all appear to be Avatards who don't understand that “Inuit” is not a universal term for “brown people who live north of the 60th parallel” any more than “Eskimo” is? The sheer, baldfaced ignorance of being that damn racist is making it even more impossible to take them seriously. Like, you're honestly going to lecture other people about racism when you clearly neither know nor care what you're talking about?

Let's not even pretend you understand that the term "Inuit" itself is a complicated issue, or that you know jack shit about Inupiat OR Yu'pik cultures, okay?

Agreed. I think most of them are likely patting themselves on the back for using Inuit instead of Eskimo.

Legitimately, can you please let me know the general term for those groups of peoples? Because I know that "Inuit" isn't kosher, but I've never been able to figure out what to use. :C

It depends on where you are. Technically, Eskimo is a term that encompasses both the Yup'ik and Inupiat peoples, whereas Inuit only applies to the Inupiat. Inuit is the more accepted term in Canada and Greenland, since the people who would fall under the term in those countries are Inupiat; Eskimo is also considered somewhat pejorative in both countries. Eskimo, on the other hand, is more commonly used in Alaska, since it's the preferred term of many Yup'ik people, and the Yup'ik are indigenous to Alaska. It's a pretty complicated issue overall. There are a few more details here: http://www.isteve.com/2002_name_game_inuit_or_eskimo.htm

The problem is that you can be Eskimo without being Inuit. Eskimo is the broader term; Inuit the narrower. Canada tends to prefer the use of Inuit because most of the indigenous peoples are actually Inuit. Alaska tends to prefer Eskimo because there are non-Inuit groups living in the state.

Inuit has fuck-all to do with the Sami people, though. It'd be like, I dunno, referring to all Amerindians as Khoisan.
