Failing to use the latest "politically correct" vocabulary to describe categories of people has little or nothing to do with being mean to specific individuals, although the mentally challenged may be incapable of making this distinction.
My wife was disabled, being legally blind since a child. I am well aware of how people often treated her as stupid for what was a purely physical handicap. After decades of experience, we got to the point where we accepted this, trying to feel sorry for these people because of their narcissistic personality and their poor upbringing.

...this makes you appear even more insensitive than before.
As an American, of course, you have the right to use whatever "politically incorrect" term you like no matter how many people it offends.
I have long believed that people of certain political leanings have difficulty thinking abstractly. It seems that you are confirming the stereotype that I hold. Thank you.

Try to put your wife's childhood disability aside and consider what you're saying in context to this sub-thread.
