It's like calling "Eskimos" "Inuits", they actually don't like being called Inuits.

Other way around I think, at least in some parts Eskimo is considered quite offensive.

The name "Inuit" was used to the ignorance of Left-Wing person so unfortunately spread out. Yes some might prefer to be called "Inuits", but "Eskimo" is apparently acceptable.

Looking on Wikipedia (which is usually pretty reliable) it appears that Eskimo is only acceptable in Alaska and is considered insulting in Canada and Greenland. And to be honest I never knew that before o.O.These things always turn out to be more complicated than you think when you look at them closely.
