hey guys friendly reminder from your fave Canadian that esk*mo is a slur so please don’t use it!

I see it usually in the context of “esk*mo kisses” which may pop up when people talk about their ships and their headcanon, but it means “snow eaters” in cree and is a slur against Inuit people so please just don’t use it!

and I would appreciate if u reblogged this because people outside Canada don’t seem to know this for the most part

Also if you want to refer to ‘‘eskimo kisses’‘ and not use that term the Inuit term for it is ‘‘kunik’‘. It’s a traditional greeting usually between relatives or a child and an adult, although it’s a little different from nose kisses so most Canadians call it ‘‘Inuit kiss’‘ and I’ve heard other people call it ‘‘bunny kisses’’. Either way there’s no excuse to use ‘‘eskimo’‘ in this context or another.

hi, Canadian here needing to correct the etymology at the beginning of this post, Esk*mo comes from the Ojibwa word ashkimeq which means ‘eaters of raw meat’. Additionally, Esk*mo isn’t only used as a slur against Inuit people but also against Iñupiat and Yupik people.

tl;dr just don’t use the word :) the indigenous people of the Arctic are real people, not Halloween costumes/cartoon characters

[neshtasplace]

I had an argument about this with an American friend. Cheese and cracker please dont’ use this!

[lierdumoa]

Maybe it’s different now, but when I was a kid going to school in California my teachers used the word esk*mo as if that were an official culture name, in the same category as  Navaho or Cree. People outside Canada really have no idea it’s a slur, and it’s a huge failing in the American school system.

Hi, actual Inuk here. Just don't use the damn word or "kunik" as an alternative. It's tacky if ur not Inuk and use to promote ur character ships or whatever.

I feel like we need to talk more about how white lesbians / bi women fetishize woc.

I remember seeing this post about how ~beautiful~ our racialized features are and going into detail about how gorgeous brown skin is and it was incredibly dramatic and cringey and i checked the source and op was a white bi woman. Going into detail about how much she loved brown skin. It was just so creepy.

And another time I saw a post saying something along the lines of “I love being a lesbian on blackout because it fills my dash with sexy black women” and op was white and that also made me feel so uncomfortable.

I feel like we often dismiss this as “lesbians don’t have the male gaze” which is obviously true but white lesbians / bi women do have the white gaze and therefore can (and often do) fetishize and objectify woc

We also talk about the way white gay men fetishize and objectify gay moc but not with white lesbians as much and I don’t know why that is

(if you’re straight don’t even touch this post)

TW: Assault/r*pe The first time I was assaulted was by a white bisexual girl who constantly made comments about my features and my body, specifically making explicit fetishizing comments about me being a native girl. I wasn't old enough/aware to name the type of violence but it was one of the single most traumatizing events in my life that led me to so many other retraumatizing acts. I don't fuck w white queers.
