        Fun fact! “Mongoloid” is an old timey way of talking about down’s syndrome as well as a very old timey way of talking about races, and we don’t use it anymore because it’s literally equating congitive impairment with racial characteristics.

        Anyone using it today as pejorative is saying something worse than the R-slur, because it’s not only ableist, it’s racist too!

        Oh boy I love learning.

        I’m so glad we get to hear from our neighbours in the .ml instance still for some reason.
