Noticed the word "Eskimo" was awkwardly censored in Nat King Cole's "Chestnuts Roasting" Christmas song, this is the screed I got as a reply when I asked the radio station why they did it (Stingray Radio) (media.communities.win)

"Eskimo" was not and never was a slur until someone on twitter decided it was. "Widely accepted as racist and offensive" is wishful thinking on the part of team blue.

Baby It's Cold Outside did 9/11. At a church dance in America, Sayyid Qutb witnessed men and women dancing and kissing to Baby It's Cold Outside. This display of wanton degeneracy so appalled him that he created the jihadist philosophy that motivates all the major Islamic organizations attacking the west, from Iran to al-Qaeda to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Precisely.

The book he wrote about the need for the annihilation of the west, and a permanent international Jihad was called:

... Social Justice in Islam.

Islamo-Leftism goes way the fuck back.

If this story sounds like a joke for anyone here, no, it's real.

the song clearly has the woman being into the man and she's giving all of these half-assed excuses as to why she shouldn't stay.

it's the same issue they had with "grab em by the pussy". every person getting salty about that is just a bunch of incels and obese femcels who have never had anyone desire them, so it's completely beyond them how seduction works.

This is a long standing movement of their attack on language to keep themselves relevant, along with subverting it generally.

  • Negro is not a slur
  • Tranny is not a slur
  • BIPOC is not a slur (very recent change in UK)
  • Retard is not a slur

Also, dumb, idiot, and retard are all on the exact same euphemism treadmill.

There was a real reddit moment I had with a Bri'ish redditor that chided me for "little people", informing me that on their side of the ocean the PC term is "midget"

It is the direct opposite in the States.

Ted Kaczynski was absolutely correct about shitlibs and then some.

Wait, they're making their own made up term (BIPOC) into a slur now?

They were trying to. It was on a Lotus Eater's podcast where they covered that BIPOC was somehow racist or racially inappropriate. But they tried to change it to something like UKMHGMR and it didn't take off.

It's both funny and sad how our progressive friends keep fighting against their own creations. It reminds me of the "cancel gender" horseshit. You're the ones who came up with the idea.

They know, it's what gives them justification for further action.

They'll never run out of problems to solve if they keep making new ones. So, side effects are good. And if there are no side effects, make them by claiming that the results are now bad for some reason.

Actually, it's from a Dene (I think) word meaning "eater of raw meat", and was always meant to be insulting. On the other hand, the Cree (the people to the south of the Dene, as the Dene are to the Inuit) call the Dene "Slaveys". Haven't asked around what the Blackfoot call the Cree, but it's probably nothing very polite, either.

Honestly, I don't, either, just trying to bring in that's it's a little older than current year.

That's just one theory on the etymology. It's the only one that's even remotely offensive, so you can be certain the left love to popularize it as the true one.

...Though I'm not sure how this is offensive, given that A: it is a statement of fact and B: Meat doesn't exactly spoil quickly in the arctic circle and C: I ike Sushi.

Let's call them something like "noble savages of color" or "harpoon-chucking igloo niggers" or something. I don't care anymore. I have never met one in my entire life and chances are exceedingly low I have interacted with one online either. We are out of fucks to give. Not my fucking problem. I give you a free reign to call me whatever slurs you assume apply to me.

Pretty sure the Blackfoot just call the Cree "Elitist Assholes" where I'm from haha. There is a Dene exclave by Calgary called the Tsuut'ina that the surrounding blackfoot called Sarcee for the longest time which is their own little racist moniker because the two groups have been at odds since basically the dawn of time.

I once checked a super woke woman on twitter and there was something like "Eskimo mom" in the bio. I told her "Eskimo" is now a sinful word according to her dumbfuck religion, she wouldnt believe me. "I'm an Eskimo!"

"latinx" is just racist white leftist colonizers trampling on brown people. all leftists genuinely think non-whites are the lesser. in the 1800s, they called for non-whites' extermination. in the 1920s through 1960s, leftists switched to calling for non-whites' saving, and white leftists claim that only they can do that saving. it's impossible to be a leftist without thinking non-whites are the lesser.

I don't believe Nat King Cole [...] was inherently racist

Wow, really?? You don't believe a black guy living before Civil Rights era was 'inherently racist'?? Well good for you!! Morons.

Well, he celebrated Christmas instead of Kwanza like a good Communist Proletariat Of Color, thus he's internally white and is a race traitor benefiting from white supremacy.

This is a gold sarcastic comment because Kwanzaa wasn't invented until a year after his death so maybe we can retroactively baptize him into the modern ideology and make him queer and nonbinary as well while we're at it.

"White Christmas", as a song, will probably continue to be allowed unless some wokie decides that the "white" in the title refers to people instead of snow on the ground.

Now, if they wanted to really get up in arms they need to get all a-flutter over the entirety of Holiday Inn, the precursor movie to White Christmas, and the original source of the song. The film originated in 1942 and features some now cringe-worthy depictions of Der Bingle's black housekeeper (and her kids), as well as a musical number based around Lincoln's Birthday, where everyone in the production and the staff at the inn are in blackface.

and folks dressed up like eskimos

That’s the line. There’s nothing derogatory about it. There’s nothing condescending about the term. These people just want to be mad about something and ruin everything for everyone else.

  Eskimo is out of favor for the same reason oriental is.  It is a generally non-descript blanket term for a huge range of people that generally don't care much for each other.  It is not a term that any of them would use to describe themselves. 
 The other (real) reason is for the authoritative left to attempt to seize control of language; or at least destabilize rival groups use of it.

I mean, I can get the concept of bleeping F-bombs or releasing edited versions of songs that are going on broadcast radio. If I were a parent I wouldn't want my six-year old belting out "Fuck you, and fuck her too" after listening to the unedited version of the Cee Lo track on the radio. Hell, I cringed when I heard my young nephew singing the hook to DMX's "Up In Here", and asked him where he heard it. Apparently he'd heard the radio-edited version of it, and while it's a catchy hook, the rest of the lyrics are not something you want a grade-school-age white kid signing.

That all being said, they edited out "Eskimo"? That's about the most spineless bullshit I've ever heard. The only reason it's considered offensive is because a bunch of woke, racist, white busybodies got their panties in a bunch on behalf of a native people.
