I was taught that the Inuit were called "Eaters of raw meat" by a First Nations tribe (possibly Blackfoot) and those Indians certainly meant it as an insult. The word for "Eaters of raw meat" in that language was Eskimo. Its a little ironic because they did eat raw seal fat. But who wants to labeled with a derogatory but true description in another language.


Is that why "cheese eating surrender monkeys" has not caught on among the French?
