Thanks for letting me know. I thought it was equivalent to “Neanderthal” but just looked it up. I won’t use it again.
Hell yeah. If it makes you feel better your not the only one to have incorrectly thought that.
What on earth was the word?
Detectives assemble! Something that could be confused as similar to Neanderthal, but isn't. I'm guessing mongoloid?
You guessed correctly. It is not always a slur, more a description in an anachronistic method of defining human ‘races’, but is apparently a slur used against autistic people and therefore has been deleted from my mental vocabulary.
