    racist republican mongoloid

    I don’t know if it’s worse that you threw in a racist term…

    Or that people are upvoting it.

    Like…

    Just what the actual fuck?

    It makes absolutely no sense, are you just repeating words that you’ve heard with out knowing what they mean?

    smooth brains

    Seriously?

      I mean Mongoloid is offensive but I don’t know where you’re getting racism out of it. You tend to see it everywhere?

      And “smooth brain” IS an insult but why are you any more upset than say, “idiot”?

        It’s a twofer slur that makes fun of people with Downs Syndrome by calling them people from Mongolia.

        Just all around nasty stuff best left in the more socially backwards times from whence it came.

          I mean… KINDA. Cacazoid, negroid, and mongoloid are still used in combat medical situations to quickly describe a body that has been disfigured. The term used for Down’s syndrome sucks, but I still feel like it’s a reach to make it racist.
