In my University there were 3 groups - the jocks, the nerds, and the aboriginals.


Pardon me?

Are youse guys really lecturing Throbbin on the use of the term Eskimo. Why don't you ask him instead, he is after all an Inuk. And while Eskimo has become a passe term in Canada it is still commonly used in Alaska. And while the Unuit people may find offensive meaning in the term it has hardly been used as a racial insult. For the most part it has been used as a generic term to describe all Arctic peoples by people who had no idea of its real meaning.


you can't really fault anyone on that since it's not exactly self evident info.

>> ^Throbbin:

While I'm not crazy about the word 'Eskimo' (it's actually a Cree word that the French adopted), we do use it amongst ourselves.
As for others using it - a friend of mine once asked an Inuk Elder what he thought about the word. The Elder responded that we never asked white people what they wanted to be called (we call them Qallunaq), so why should we get upset about what people call us?


Sir, that may be one of the most racially tolerant (and awesome) things i've ever heard. Kudos!

*Quality.

Great pic.
The older, crankier part of me wants to ask why he didn't just do it on paper though.
The cranky part of me wonders why he spent so long painting a picture of anything to do with Star Wars Episodes I-III.
