here's the thing....once in the us ...african amercans wanted to be called colored....then black...then African American......
once idiot moron and imbicle were medical terms.....now people prefer developmental disabled
omg the political correctness.....
seriously the English
Seriously? You actually care about this, claiming your right to call people what you want to call them, rather than what they'd prefer? So, you have to adjust because a new generation has a different take....get over it.
Also, moron and imbecile were never medical terms. They were always hateful and full of contempt, both when used for people who had congenital defect or intellectual impairment due to trauma, and when used to describe people who just aren't very smart...but the fact that they're used in the latter case ought to be reason enough to understand why it's time to get beyond them.
