Friendly Reminder

Gypsy is a slur

Eskimo is a slur

Lapplander is a slur

Instead of gypsy say Romani/Roma

Instead of Eskimo say Inuit

Instead of Lapplander say Saami

A lot of people don’t know that these words are slurs, so now that you know, avoid using them!

(add any other words that a lot of people use and don’t realize that they are slurs! I didn’t even know lapplander was a slur!)

Edit: Thanks for informing me that Eskimo is a slur when used towards Natives in Canada/Greenland and not Alaska!

As someone who lives in Sweden, I’ve never actually heard of Lapplander before. Everyone I know say Saami, or Samer as they’re called in Swedish.

Oof I didn’t know
