I lived in Anchorage.
Eskimos is considered offensive...nobody says Eskimo except for new Lower 48 transplants who don't know any better.
Everyone says "Native" or Alaskan Native. The Natives say Native.
"Eskimos" (Native Alaskans) get zero coverage in the Lower 48 so everyone is ignorant...and the some of the racism in Alaska regarding them is shocking...and would get huge coverage in the Lower 48 if it were another racial group - but it gets little news coverage because Natives are the tiniest of tiny minorities.
