To be fair, they ARE eskimos. This is one of the few times it makes sense.

This is one of those cases where I have no issue with it. It does make more sense, and it's not glaringly in your face. This is taking a white character from a race of traditionally darker skinned people and making their skin more accurate to the people they're portraying. It's not like taking some pale Irishman and making them look like burnt-toast.
