There is no one who will claim that is a mistake to say 'Eskimo' to people who are living in certain countries, such as Canada, Greenland, Alaska, and the like. I can feel that you are cautious with this concern because you do not want to offend others if saying things not right.

No idea. I don't keep abreast with the PC faddists, nor cater to their fee-fees. Too many spoiled leftist Peter Pans, desperate to play control freak, and their numbers will continue to rise so long as sheeple continue to bow to their demands.

No, it is not okay to say Eskimo as it is considered a derogatory term by many Indigenous peoples of Alaska and Canada. Inuit or Yupik is more appropriate.

The term "Eskimo" is considered offensive by some Indigenous peoples, so it is best to avoid using it. Instead, it is recommended to use the term "Inuit" when referring to Indigenous peoples of the Arctic.
