I'm sure he would be offended if he self identifies as a (bi)polar bear.

I'm sure it is racist and very offensive. Probably misoginistic too.

"Grizzly" refers to the grizzled coloration of the hair--brown at the bottom and middle, gray or white at the tip.

You should ask the bear itself. From a safe distance.

There is nothing offensive about it.
Bears do not know what we call them or understand.
