The problem is, every time a new balance is found, someone else finds a reason to complain, and the cycle begins again. So, we go from nigger to negro to black to African American to... "people of colour" to something else, and they all mean the same thing, more or less.
I'm assuming Mongolians is not a reference to people from Mongolia (inner or outer)?
It made me wonder if Negroid is still used at all, scientifically. It seems to be.
Since the early 60s the word "mongoloid" became an insult and an epithet and so we don't say it any more.
I don't know. Devo seemed okay with it in the early '80s.
