Hey! Just so you know "eskimo" is actually a slur used to refer the Inuit people (https://www.ualberta.ca/folio/2017/11/commentary--edmonton-eskimos-is-a-racial-slur-and-its-time-to-stop-using-it.html).

  1. Thank you, I didn't know that. I knew there was some shady history about that, but wasn't sure enough.

  2. The games are the real thing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Eskimo_Indian_Olympics and I don't think they'd change their name
