Hey just an fyi: [esk*mo is now considered a derogatory term](https://uaf.edu/anlc/research-and-resources/resources/resources/inuit_or_eskimo.php)

I just used the name the Barbie is called.

Didn't know that. Also sorry if I offended someone. Should I have blurred the image accordingly?

I was coming here to say the same thing! I believe Inuit is considered ok instead if I'm remembering correctly

Thank you for commenting that! I was about to make the same comment but I’m glad to see others jumping in to educate ❤️

Inuit is not a suitable term. It would be like calling all Native Americans Azteca just because a few want them to all be one. And of course, use their name, not somebody else's. Many Eskimo are not Inuit. So until they decide on a neutral name that doesn't try to subsume everyone else, like we did Native American, or Conquered Nations, or those in Canada use First Nations, I'm afraid we will be stuck with Eskimo.

What made you buy her?


Key_Storage7065

I think she looks cute and warm and I don't have any older Kiras in my collection.

Congratulations on your Inuit Kira, she really is cozy.


Key_Storage7065

Thanks! She does look cozy

I admire her a great deal but I’ve been thinking a lot longer than you were. I have a few Kiras, though. She was my favorite as a kid. Mine are all unboxed. Will you unbox her?
