<< review queue entry 75424 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Wp ~ 因纽特人（...或译为因努伊特人）是 ... * * * Not true to say "Eskimo" refers to the same people as "Inuit", and that it's simply a PC equivalent of "Eskimo". "Eskimo is a word that presents challenges for anyone who is concerned about avoiding the use of offensive language. Its offensiveness stems partly from a now-discredited belief that it was originally a pejorative term meaning "eater of raw flesh," but perhaps more significantly from its being a word imposed on aboriginal peoples by outsiders. It has long been considered a word to be avoided in Canada, where native people refer to themselves as Inuit, a word that means "people" in their language. But not all the native people who are referred to as Eskimos are Inuit. Eskimo has no exact synonym; it has a general meaning that encompasses a number of indigenous peoples, and it continues for now in widespread use in many parts of the English-speaking world." https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Eskimo |
