Perhaps, but having played as an Argonian, in context it's rather like some other alien race referring to people as "bipeds" or "hairless ones" - when encountered by another sentient species, you would likely be labeled simply according to what appeared to them to be unique about you (for a deeper anthropological look at this hypothetical relationship, I recommend CS Lewis' sci-fi trilogy, esp. Out of the Silent Planet).
