Interesting to see an upvoted racist comment at the end of this thread. Sorta confirms what the rest of us think about Staten Island.

Not racist, it historically referred to those with Down’s Syndrome. Not much better but still.

Mongoloid is a racist term that refers to people of Asian descent. I have no doubt that it was adopted as a term for people with Downs because it was already considered a slur.
