For your consideration

There's a scene in due South where Fraser mentions that the word "Eskimo" is considered derogatory. That is not the whole truth. To indigenous people in Canada it is in fact considered a negative term. However, on my side of the Alaska/Canada border there are quite a few people who self-identify as Eskimo. There are indigenous people in other parts of the world who self-identify as Eskimo, and there are indigenous people in other parts of the world who would consider it an insult.

Nobody knows who you are until you tell them. Nobody gets to define you except you. Nobody's truth is the only truth that matters.


OK, honesty time: the due South reference was a bit of a cheat. Fraser is actually talking about Eskimo Pies, comparing the usage (quite correctly) to the Atlanta Braves and the like. But I couldn't resist. Forgive me?

Oh SGA, you crazy kids, trying to channel Phillip K. Dick.
