@HairyBallSack1: Except that it's exactly not what you said.

@HairyBallSack1: Because they had real answers. Not "Mongolian people look like retards so we call retarded people Mongoloid."

@Monkeycat: Oh there's a lot of cool history involving the Mongols! Have you ever heard of Genghis Khan?

Oh I love that movie!

Bruce Willis pretends to be retarded and the French chick he's with says 'no Mongoloid! I hate when you do mongoloid!!' And the other place I heard it was at the beggining of frisk till dawn when the cop is talking to the gas station clerk.

Oh, like almond eyes?

yes

Well it's a chromosome problem. Disorder, handicap, illness, whatever.

Yes an extra ☝️ messes you up then you become mongoloid.
