[TheInfiniteSadness]

Eskimo is not a bad word!

Now it is considered by some a put down because it's not the word Eskimos use for themselves. Go figure. Ever heard the words "wagon burner?

We still say Sioux.

The tribe which I believe my father came from is called Flandreau Santee Sioux.

This sign sits in front of the tribal office today.

The town I was born in is still called Sioux Falls.

All the signs next to the river still say Big Sioux River.

I guess that settles it

You use Deutsch?

yes, when speaking in German, I say Deutsch
when speaking in French, I say Allemand
when speaking in English, I say German
etc ....

Those Eskimos are stupid, when they complain about a normal linguistic fact.

Well I learned something today. Why do you use Allemand? It's mostly white Eskimos who were whining about the name. Eskimo refers to the "Inuit" living in North Canada , Alaska, Greenland and Russia.

Of course they complain. They complain that they're part of Great Britain. People complain all the time and how loud they complain determines whether or not you hear them.

Allemand is the French word for German.
And Allemagne is their word for Germany.

What name do you call the French. Here in Canada most of us refer to the French in Quebec as whiny or worse.

No country has the right to be called only by the name in their language.

I always wondered about that, ever since I was little.

Yes, there were a lot of French about. We have lots of French place names that no one who speaks French says the way South Dakotans do.

Belle Fourche, Pierre, Bon Homme, Flandreau, Vermillion, DeSmet. (Although, Father Pierre DeSmet was Belgian)
