Are you bothered by use of the term "Eskimo"?

Not at all. This is one case where the anti-political correctness brigade would actually have a valid point, despite them rarely bringing it up, or at least far less than attacking the terms African-American (Which has a very valid use when not simply used as a stand-in for "black", which it rarely is today) or Native American (which is FAR more accurate than "Indian".) since the PC term (Inuit) is quite inaccurate and doesn't refer to all the Native peoples of Alaska, nor even a majority of them, the Inupiat and Yupik most certainly are not Inuits, neither are the native Aleutians, though they aren't really Eskimos either. This would be equivalent to referring to all Native Americans/Indians as Sioux or Cherokee. Perhaps the closest example is how ignorant white South Africans (and often Westerners when referring to South Africa) often called all the blacks in South Africa "Bantu".

I would rather call them Native Alaskan or First Nations, but I will admit that I use Inuit as shorthand. Eskimo brings up visions of stereotypes; Inuit is at least a little better.

You think the Yupik and Inupiat prefer being called Inuit to Eskimo?

No one calls them Eskimos anymore in Canada.

That's because virtually all Eskimos in Canada are Inuit. That is not true in Alaska however.
