You're right, but also taking together their comment history, we can reasonably assume that they chose their username with the intent to slur rather than as a more benign meaning.

I actually think they are the owner of Eskimo.com, as that person uses seems to use that username. And so, I don’t think you’re right about the username being specific to hate… I don’t dare look at their comment history, and will take your word for that.
