The person the author posted is truly offended by any and everything. He's insufferable and incredibly pompous. 

 

He's a black rapper who used the f slur on his

last album. What do you expect?

People going "wait what?" at "gift wrapped kitty cats" is the perfect distraction to even notice the e word :suburban:

Help is this really a slur

 

The English textbook I use to teach kids has a whole section called E word boy about a Japanese guy who goes to live with Alaskan natives. All the kids were walking around saying it :rip:

Since when was eskimo deemed a slur? This is the first time I am hearing about this.

I don't think it's a slur per se but it's not how that group self-identify, it was a term coined by colonisers. They prefer the term inuit.

 

Also some people use the word to describe Native Americans which is kinda offensive because that's not what they are at all.

Oh that makes more sense. I prefer Inuit anyway. But I was surprised because I felt bad if I'd been inadvertently saying an actual offensive term :eek:

To be honest, if you don't know something is a swear word, it doesn't make you a bad person. There are like 5000 ethnic groups all which have their own derogatory words used against them but people don't know about most of them. Like there are ethnic groups in Africa and Europe who have their own slurs that they use against neighboring ethnic groups, you can't realistically expect people to know all of them, and you shouldn't be punished for accidentally using one.

"Woke tiktkoker". I know they probably didn't mean to be shady, but that descriptor :deadbanana2:

I wonder how many people thinking this "isn't serious" are actual natives who are not ignorant to the world.

Chile anyway

I feel like that word falls in the same category as "Indian". Not a slur but just incorrect and coined by colonizers.

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 

Ty - I did not know this tbh! 

 

I'm sure Kendrick was unaware, as well, and meant no harm!

I'm a Cherokee Native American and I don't find this offensive. Love his new album! People reaching as usual. If you're white sit this and your faux virtue signaling outrage out. 

Do any of the ppl in the tweets op posted look white to you? :rip:

I knew the term might be considered politically incorrect but I didn't realize it was a slur. I feel like the saying "selling ice to an E*****" was a thing up until very recently. There's even a band called E***** Joe.

Is that word really a slur? Had no idea and pretty sure most people don't know either....
