From Wikipedia
The obsolete medical terms "Mongolian idiocy" and "Mongolism" referred to a specific type of mental deficiency, associated with the genetic disorder now known as Down syndrome. The obsolete term for a person with this syndrome was "Mongolian idiot". In the 21st century, those terms are no longer used as medical terminology; they are deemed unacceptable, offensive and a slur towards those with Down syndrome. The terminology change was brought about both by scientific and medical experts, as well as people of Asian ancestry, including those from Mongolia.
