Look I don't use the term mongoloid, but the point is that in the not too distant past it is the term that the Medical Profession used. And BTW, my old boss has a son with down syndrome, the kid is cute as a button and it's a shame - but that's life.

That being said, I am sick and tired of every special interest group (and those are growing exponentially daily) being offended by something. PC has run amok and it's running our country. Case in point is Iraq, were we can't properly respond with enough force in fear of offending the islmao-fascists who want us all DEAD.

This is NOT PC run amok. Yes, it used to be the accepted and recognized term in the medical community. The medical community also used to use leeches, force sterilization and perform lobotomies.

Your example of Iraq my be correct, but it is not germane to this argument.
