I’m confused about what you’re trying to argue. I don’t get what your example of a book about Mars is trying to say. You’ve completely missed the point of what I’m trying to say.
You’re literally complaining to an internet stranger about being called a term which imo shows some level of endearment. You’re worrying about this comment thread likely because you don’t have a job.
You are complaining this will cause kids to conceive of anthropology incorrectly and Im arguing the 9-12 year olds aren’t thinking that deeply on this. I read John Carter of Mars as a kid I seemed to be able to realize it was fake and you cannot live on Mars despite being a kid when I read this book. Most kids aren’t going to think this represents what real anthropologists do because they understand fiction.
If you had regular contact with kids you wouldnt be overthinking this to this extent.
