This new Barbie collectors' item just came out in June. It's Canadian exclusive and people went oooo and ahhh over it, paying $70 for one. Such craziness. I think her dress is nice but the face is kinda creepy.

Yeah, Inuit = Eskimo. But Eskimo is supposed to be some racist term so we call them Inuits instead.

Because in the language Iriquois:

Eskimo = Eater of Raw Fish
Inuit = The People (preferred term)
