This "woke" culture needs to go away!

WTF is going on?
We now have drag queens reading childrens stories to kids at the library and this is now something considered "normal"
Its now considered hate speech to publicly say that guys cant be lesbians, there is currently a person in Norway fighting this in court.
You can no longer say that women have periods you have to say "people" have periods.
This is so messed up its not funny.
Now we have eskimo pies rebranded as "polar" pies and pascall eskimos are now called "explorers"
You can no longer sell golliwogs on trademe, but noddy books are still allowed.
IIRC, there was a time back in the 80s when we saw this happen when they tried to remove noddy books off the shelf.

The term Eskimo is incorrect & considered derogatory by those it was applied to. That's just a matter of fixing a past mistake which most people have no problem with - not sure why you do apparently have one.

From wikipedia:

A variety of theories have been postulated for the etymological origin of the word Eskimo.[20][21][22][23][24][2] According to Smithsonian linguist Ives Goddard, etymologically the word derives from the Innu-aimun (Montagnais) word ayas╠åkimew, meaning "a person who laces a snowshoe", and is related to husky (a breed of dog).[25][26][27] The word assime┬Àw means "she laces a snowshoe" in Innu, and Innu language speakers refer to the neighbouring Mi'kmaq people using words that sound like eskimo.[28][29]
In 1978, Jos├® Mailhot, a Quebec anthropologist who speaks Innu-aimun (Montagnais), published a paper suggesting that Eskimo meant "people who speak a different language".[30][31] French traders who encountered the Innu (Montagnais) in the eastern areas adopted their word for the more western peoples and spelled it as Esquimau or Esquimaux in a transliteration.[32]
Some people consider Eskimo offensive, because it is popularly perceived to mean[31][33][34] "eaters of raw meat" in Algonquian languages common to people along the Atlantic coast.[26][35][36] An unnamed Cree speaker suggested the original word that became corrupted to Eskimo might have been askamiciw (meaning "he eats it raw"); the Inuit are referred to in some Cree texts as askipiw (meaning "eats something raw").[35][36][37][38][3][39] Regardless, the term still carries a derogatory connotation for many Inuit and Yupik.[26][35][40][41]
One of the first printed uses of the French word Esquimaux comes from Samuel Hearne's A Journey from Prince of Wales's Fort in Hudson's Bay to the Northern Ocean in the Years 1769, 1770, 1771, 1772 first published in 1795.[42]


So apparently "some" people find it offensive because its somehow perceived to mean "eat raw meat"
WTF? How is that offensive even if that was the translation? Ive eaten raw meat(fish) before, and likely is a common diet of theirs, they do indeed eat raw fish and find ways to preserve it over the winter months.
Dont know that the big deal is.
Some people are just choosing for things to be offended by. I know many who dont like being called pakeha also, but you can get away with that here.
