Meta, There are better terms... The term is used due to a perceived resemblance of a person suffering from Down syndrome (no longer used technically in this sense)
changeling, cretin, half-wit, idiot, imbecile, moron, retard - a person of subnormal intelligence
originating in the west likely of British origin... (my supposition only) to Asians inhabiting northern China and Mongolia ...

also in the dictionary:
nigger merriam-webster.com
Chink siliconinvestor.com
fuck merriam-webster.com
mongoloid merriam-webster.com
2 often not capitalized usually offensive : of, relating to, or affected with Down syndrome
— Mongoloid noun


inclusion does not denote acceptability. It is not offensive typically to those that don't know any better. It is offensive to the one to whom it is directed and to a large portion of the world's population when used as you used it.

How would you have reacted had TJ used 2 out of three of those dictionary words for Mr. Obamma as in this definition...

nigger: 3: a member of a socially disadvantaged class of persons <it's time for somebody to lead all of America's niggers…all the people who feel left out of the political process — Ron Dellums>
