Mongol, Mongolism - English editing.

The terms mongol was adopted in the 19th century to refer to a person with Down’s syndrome (and mongolism for the condition itself), owing to the supposed similarity of some of the physical symptoms of the disorder with the normal facial characteristics of East Asian people. In modern English these terms are offensive and have been replaced in scientific as well as in most general contexts by Down’s syndrome (first recorded in the early 1960s), and related expressions such as a person with Down’s syndrome, a Down’s baby, etc.
