For all it gets thrown around as a slur by euros, you'd think they'd remember that the only reason they weren't paying tribute to the Khan is that his armies decided it wasn't worth the effort of conquering a backwater so far from home.
probably, in spanish pretty much any conjugation of mongol is used as the slur. anyways there may be a a connection between the slur and their insistence on saying russians are mongols.
"M*ngoloid" is an old eugencist :skull: phrenologist bullshit term from when psuedo-scientists tried to classify "The races". It was used to disparage people with Downs syndrome by asserting they resembled Asian people.
Where did all the hatred for Mongols come from? They were pretty badass!

Mongol is very commonly used slur for people with down syndrome.
I think you're confusing it with the "-oid" version

I don't think it's necessarily related to the slur, seems more like the typical "Asiatic hordes" angle
I'll make sure to be careful in Spanish, though
Its the same in German.

Weird isn't it? They got a lot done.
Mongols are a very gray area. They were an absolute menace. Just reading about what they did to Baghdad pisses me off.
The whites use their name as a slur though because the Mongols absolutely destroyed Eastern Europe.
Poor Ryazan
Cool painting
