      See the words “dated, now offensive.” Meaning it was a bigoted word against people with intellectual disabilities.

      Of course, they could be calling them Asian as a way of suggesting they were stupid and inferior, which would… no, that would still be bigoted.

        Thanks for the info. Never heard this, and was not the intention. It was a generic insult my whole life.
