Mongolid atau Mongoloid? <was:Pribuni Asli (Re: Siauw Liong Lie ...>

The term 'Down Syndrome' was first used in 1961 by the editor of The 
Lancet 2. It was originally called mongolism or mongolian idiocy, 
after a perceived resemblance observed by John Langdon Down between 
the faces of some of his patients with Down syndrome and the 
Mongoloid race. This usage is now viewed by medical professionals as 
offensive and medically meaningless, and is not commonly used. 
Professor Jérome Lejeune demonstrated in 1959 that Down syndrome is 
a chromosomal irregularity.

Di referensi lain tampaknya lebih banyak yang menggunakan istilah 
mongolism, misalnya di http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?
