Term for a mentally retarded person. This used to be used to denote people with Down's Syndrome, and now is just generally derogatory.

(n.) Someone from southern or eastern asia according to a now obsolete racial classification. The name is given, probably as a result of genghis khan's mongol empire, which saw mongols breed with the natives of most asian races/tribes. The key factors in deciding whether a skull is mongoloid or not lie in the eyes and nose.

A term used to describe the people of East Asia, that is no longer considered politically correct in general usage, but is still used by anthropologists. It derives from the mistaken belief that the East Asian racial type originated in Mongolia.

A race of people who inhabit East Asia and parts of Southeast Asia and Central Asia. In addition, some scientists classify American Indians as members of the greater Mongoloid race due to the fact that their ancestors came from Asia thousands of years ago.

Typical of members of the Mongoloid race are straight black hair, charcoal black eyes, a short, roundish face, a low nose bridge, high cheekbones and epicanthal fodes that give the appearance of "slanted" eyes.

1) An old fashioned name for someone with down syndrome, originating from the belief that people with down syndrome resembled Mongolians.

2) An offensive term for someone who is idiotic or stupid. Often shortened to mongo or mong.

Mongoloid (mahn - go - loyd) n.
1. One whose ancestors are Asian, particularly those from South-East Asia. Derrived from the term Mongol, who were inhabitants of Mongolia, because much of South-East Asia has been conquered by the Mongols, meaning their genetics had spread. This is especially true in places such as China, but not so much in Japan. They are characterised as having round mandibles, often over-bites (or under-bites), large teeth, small eyes, large eyelids, slanted eyes, black hair, and seemingly yellow skin.

2. (Vulgar slang) A person who resembles one with Down syndrome in appearence, lacks intelligence, or both. Called so, because people unfamiliar with Asians may think of them as people with Down syndrome.
