" 'Mr Jen, Hispanic is not a race.'

Anonymous • 3 months ago

" Um. Yes it is unless you do not know how that word is used.

“Race” refers to ethnicity and has for a couple centuries.

Have you ever had a job? When it says “race” on it and you have
to choose between Caucasian, black, Hispanic, Asian, Pacific Islander,
etc. etc.. So, if Hispanic is not a race…what is it'?"

The other day I used a descriptive phrase mogoloid idiot. As long as offensive words liek Jerk were being used and quite obviously without the definitions being known I thought why not." Mongoloid Idiot if nothing will be an eye catcher and a magnet. is it offensie to the mythical 'some' read on and see.?

I had for some reason assumed the term I used was anthropological in origin. I was half right and in anthropology all adding an -oid to the end means is a way of identifying the presumed archetypical origins of diffent segments of the human species. It's an ethnic background identier. Others and still in use are Caucasoid (Caucasian mountain area Negroid, Congoid, Nand Mt. Caucasus.) Australoid and Capoid. Africa is not used as it encompasses to many of these groups and subgroups. But Alpine meaning features is used. There are sub divisions for example

Caucasoid race:
Aryan
Semitic
Hamitic
and further down Germanic and Latin one went North and the other stayed arouond the Mediterranean.

Negroid race:
African Negro
Khoikhoi
Melanesian Fiji vs nearby Tonga which is Australoid or sometimes Oceania
Negrito

Where uncertainty remains

Uncertain:
Dravida & Sinhalese
Mongoloid race:
North Mongol
Chinese & Indochinese
Japanese & Korean
Tibetan
Malay
Polynesian
Maori
Micronesian
Eskimo

Notice mongoloid. Notice colors such as the equally offensive white and black are not used.

Mongoloid added to the word Idiot is no longer in use for precisely the same reason white and black shouldn't be used. But it's from a different discipline and then spills into a third. Medicine and Pschology or measurement of mental ability. To some raised under PC these words will seem unecessarily harsh so let's settle that one here an now

I found out the words moron, imbecile, and idiot mean different things. In psychology, an idiot has the least intelligence on the IQ scale (this now is equivalent to someone who is mentally retarded or the more politically correct “mentally challenged”); an imbecile is not quite as dumb as an idiot and is now considered equivalent to moderate retardation; a moron is then the highest level of intelligence for someone who is mentally retarded, thus considered as being mildly mentally retarded. Specifically, those who have an IQ between 0 and 25 are idiots; IQs between 26 and 50 are considered imbeciles; and those who have an IQ between 51 and 70 are considered morons.

These terms were popular in psychology as associated with intelligence on an IQ test until around the 1960s. They were then replaced with the terms mild retardation, moderate retardation, severe retardation, and profound retardation. In addition to this, other factors besides IQ are now used in diagnosing these levels of mental deficiency.

Terman's Stanford–Binet original (1916) classification[52][53] IQ Range

Above 140 "Near" genius or genius
120–140 Very superior intelligence
110–120 Superior intelligence
90–110 Normal, or average, intelligence
80–90 Dullness, rarely classifiable as feeble-mindedness
70–80 Border-line deficiency, sometimes classifiable as dullness, often as feeble-mindedness
Below 70 Definite feeble-mindedness

Levine MArks 1928
IQ Range ("ratio IQ") IQ Classification
175 and over Precocious
150–174 Very superior
125–149 Superior
115–124 Very bright
105–114 Bright
95–104 Average
85–94 Dull
75–84 Borderline
50–74 Morons
25–49 Imbeciles
0–24 Idiots

and the latest at the same time dealing with why anthropology for ONE reason is dropping mongoloid to some extent.

imbecile-and-idiot-mean-different-things/

I found out the words moron, imbecile, and idiot mean different things.
In psychology, an idiot has the least intelligence on the IQ scale (this
now is equivalent to someone who is mentally retarded or the more
politically correct “mentally challenged”); an imbecile is not quite as
dumb as an idiot and is now considered equivalent to moderate
retardation; a moron is then the highest level of intelligence for
someone who is mentally retarded, thus considered as being mildly
mentally retarded. Specifically, those who have an IQ between 0 and 25
are idiots; IQs between 26 and 50 are considered imbeciles; and those
who have an IQ between 51 and 70 are considered morons.

These terms were popular in psychology as associated with intelligence on an IQ test until around the 1960s. They were then replaced with the
terms mild retardation, moderate retardation, severe retardation, and
profound retardation. In addition to this, other factors besides IQ are
now used in diagnosing these levels of mental deficiency.

So there you have it except for two other points. Medicine is the true home of the former term Mongoloid Idiot. But they do not apply to psychology nor anthropology.

'Langdon Down Anomaly', or 'Down's Syndrome or Anomaly', or 'Congenital Acromicria'.
Several of us believe that this is an appropriate time to introduce the
term 'Trisomy 21 Anomaly', which would include cases of simple Trisomy
as well as translocations and Autism is in the mix somewhere as well.

Words have meaning despite the 100 year old efforts of progressive socialist movement and there very name is constant proof of that - secular fits though.

I'm going to do a presentation on the often found claim that of the voters half don't register and half of those don't vote. The half part is true but not the explanation. And some other reasond for real figures. So I did this one first to ensure readers will bear in mind Latin IS a race red, and yellow, black and white are racist and browns or Latins refer to themselves as La Raza - the Race. Progressives have really botched this one though with lily white bread Hillary dissing two historically black heros Who made it to Secretary of State and didn't botch the job. Hillary your racy-ist and sex-yist slips are showing.

see you in the funny papers!
