Not to drop the pc bomb... but isn't the name kind of racist? The Sherpa are an ethnic group, after all. HealthNegro? HealthWhitey?
Haha, I got just as angry as you did, but the sentiment as you expressed is not correct. It would be more like HealthIrish, HealthPolish, HealthCatalan, etc. Having said that, the misuse of Sherpa, specially in the US, really, really really bugs me. Really really really. A lot of my friends are Sherpas, and when someone on TV misuses 'Sherpa' I just..want..to...throw things at the tv. Sigh. We gotta wait for the Sher…
No, I'm correct and you're wrong. Irish, Polish, etc are nationalities not ethnicities.
Check wikipedia:
Sherpa (Tibetan: "eastern people", from shar "east" + pa "people") are an ethnic group from the most mountainous region of Nepal, high in the Himalayas.
