    Personally pissing off President Musk is going to become a great little pastime of anyone with some extra time on their hands and I am absolutely in favour.

        I’d rather not

        Mongoloid in that context is a reference to people with Down’s syndrome having similar eyes to Asian people, who were referred to as the mongoloid race.

        Using elongoloid I think just brings back the dehumanization of those two groups. Plus it uses people with downs as a benchmark for stupidity, which I think is wrong (there’s a very wide spectrum of capability for Downs people).

        I like the Forest Gump philosophy: “stupid is as stupid does”, and Elon Musk does more stupid on a daily basis than any downs person I’ve ever met, and probably in all of history.

        Side note: my sister has Downs, so making fun of them is a bit of a trigger for me. I like a good natured ribbing and can take jokes, but that’s my off limits area. I hope you don’t take my comment the wrong way, I’m not mad or offended, just throwing in my thoughts.
