I guess that if people choose the politically correct "cry wolf" with this game's class description, then so be it. It would be a shame to see Black Isle get sued over something like this.

Fionnguala I studied Anthropology and Sociology for a while too.
I'm sorry but you are wrong, on both counts. Eskimos were never merely confined to Greenland, but stretched across modern day Canada and Alaska. An Eskimo can be a native Greenlander, or not, and a native Greenlander can be an eskimo or not.
I have quoted articles proving that Gypsies are a RACE, that their language is Romany. They have been choosing to call themselves Romanies of late, hence perhaps your confusion.
They are well documented in history and the arts. I mentioned Django - to this day a guitaring Icon - was a Gypsie. I don't see how you could proclaim Gypsies are not a race as you earlier asserted, especially with your claim of Anthrop Masters.
Perhaps you speciality wasn't Gypsies?
Regardless, presenting a degree instead of facts holds little water I'm afraid.
I'm supposed to just sit down and take your word against the mountain of evidence I have seen to the contrary?
I suppose to you the Gypsie genocide at the hands of the Nazis was fiction? You're German are you not? Has this fact been covered up in your country then?
