Kendrick criticized for using a slur in new album

[Space Cowboy]

Thoughts? Should he change the word? Or it's not that serious?

Again?

Here we go again...

Aubrey sending that anonymous tip in

Wow I actually didn't know the "e-" word was a slur. Now I know 

[Uncatena]

Unfortunately, this is one of those words that a LOT of people don't know isn't welcomed by indigenous folks. Even though they've been talking about for a while, indigenous voices are so silenced that it doesn't come through often. I doubt Kendrick knew that it's considered a slur.

 

He should be open to the critique, learn and apologize. 

[X~MoviePoP]

Tbh, i didnt even know this.

 

I swear this word is in the history books and was used by historians? Was it always never welcomed by natives or is it only recently

Didn't know the E word was a slur, good to know now though. 

[Colmillo]

Didn't now it was a slur, but that reminds me of a show I watched when I was little called Skimo, I miss being a kid

Right I remember seeing it in textbooks and causally in cartoons too

[StayFrosty]

I googled it and it says it's an exonym.

Someone give me a source that's not twitterpedia.

Obviously good to learn but this is the least of our worries at the moment.

I feel like we need to tell The Smithsonian and have National Geographic edit many of their specials

I've read about Greenlandic native history and they don't **** around with that word. They indeed see it as something as derogatory as the f or the n word 

[havewemet]

Maybe it's because the conversation is more culturally relevant in Canada but we've known not to use it for a long time now.

[Touchdown]

wait.....

I always said Inuit anyway, but I didn't know that was a slur.

 

As a kid teachers taught us about E-words and their igloos. I wonder if they still do.
