  Well, I think people need to be a little patient with folks who use terms like “dumb” and “moron,” it would behoove you to maybe consider why people are bringing that up now.

  It’s kind of like the R word. Mocking people for things they can’t control, especially things with a history of leading to persecution, is not OK. “Moron” unfortunately does have a very troubled history as a term so they aren’t wrong. Same reason I am trying not to use words like “crazy” when describing people’s behavior.
