lugh, people will peeircve things however they want to peeircve them. That we chose an Eskimo as a mascot could also be seem as a testament to our respect for a proud people and their traditions.Or you can choose to see it as insulting. Though it should be noted (using your example) that we didn't name him "Canucky the Canadian".It's a shame that your first thought (when encountering open-source software for special-needs children) was of racism. I think that speaks volumes more than any mascot ever could.
