The author pre-supposes that “Mongoloid” is a term of disparagement. But here is what Merriam-Webster says:
Definition of MONGOLOID
1: of, constituting, or characteristic of a race of humankind native to Asia and classified according to physical features (as the presence of an epicanthic fold)
2 often not capitalized usually offensive : of, relating to, or affected with Down syndrome
Funny how the herd thoughtlessly thunders off without thinking. Just sayin.’
When I took college anthropology in the mid 60s one of the races was Negroid. The PC crowd is trying unsuccessfully to insert African-American, even though some Africans are white (Caucasian?), as well as some “African-Americans.”
Need to bring back accurate descriptors.
‘Usually offensive’ doesn’t mean ‘disparaging’?
