    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.
