I guess you didn’t notice all the ‘retard’ jokes made at his expense. I did.
“I don’t agree with your assessment of his facing horrific discrimination. In most DS kids, I find that people are drawn to them because of their love and their innocence. They’re great kids and adults.”
People are always calling eachother names like that. Even so called normal kids get teased and called retard or some other names like fatso, etc. It’s part of life unfortunately.
