Historical note.

"...During the first half of the twentieth century in the United States, the majority of children with Down syndrome were placed in institutions – frequently soon after birth. This resulted in great human sacrifice for those individuals and for their families, who were convinced, often by members of the medical community, that the child was less than human and that their needs would be so great, their families would not be able to raise them. These children were “warehoused” in large state institutions – often in deplorable conditions – locked away so that the rest of society could not see the horror of their lives."
That was my exact worry and googled it prior to giving the "Appreciate" to post referring to STR...I've heard "Mong" used as a racial slur but didn't think it was done so in this case...That is why I referred the issue to a Brit where the term is popular. Below is what I found via google search...I wouldn't have given a thumbs up If I thought it was meant to be racist.

I don't use google, so I got slightly different results; and given my experience on the internet, for slang like this I often find Urban Dictionary gives the most appropriate definitions for such colloquialisms.

I will leave out any commentary on how some people are predisposed to assume, or even go looking for, the most offensive possible meaning behind a word or phrase, and project that; regardless of the intent when such word/phrase was actually spoken

When I'm not sure of the meaning of a word especially one that may be offensive...I take steps to educate myself (Google or whatever) but perhaps thats just me.

"Mong" is an offensive term and using it on team radio transmitted worldwide is disgraceful and amply demonstrates the kind of person that Verstappen is.
Similar the use of the phrase arrogant cunt.

Just don't take a further step and ask folks if there are any meanings which are not readily apparent, some people get upset about that and will project ill intent.

The truth can be painful to hear, sometimes. I'm sorry to be the one to have to do it to you. Have a splendid day yourself.

I understand this and I will share with you a bit of information. The ability to google has given people the misapprehension that information is knowledge. Anyone can get information. It's at your fingertips. Knowledge is, however, different. Knowledge is understanding that urban dictionary isn't a legitimate source to uncover information. You took the extra step and uncovered more information, which I respect. The last part is uncovering the origin of the offensive phrase and connecting it to modern utilization then explaining it to others.

Like myself, you are of an age and experience level to understand and realize the difference in these operational modalities. Others, not so much. And there is nothing wrong with this. The problem occurs when people are unwilling to take extra steps to seek knowledge and start name calling.

As we have seen here.

Great job, Red Bull Racing. Way to bring the sport into disrepute. Again.

Merc F1's team statement on the subject is spicy and I am here for it.

This was wholly without merit.

You're so bull-headed that you don't realize we're saying exactly the same thing. Incredible.

The petition was dismissed because it didn't meet the criteria for a reviewable petition, because it did not contain information that was not available to the stewards at the time. That's a procedural issue, like a lawsuit being dismissed due to lack of standing, which is in no way a judgement of a case based on its merit (or lack thereof).

This situation was a provocation and an action that was clearly premeditated to sent MAX off track followed by a 51 G crash in the wall .

• The difference in leaving space from 1 & 2 was the width of at least 2 cars !
That's what the video is all about ...
Period .

Maxed squeezed on the inside before the turn, that resulted in the positions the cars were in.

Lec didn't do this and the outcome was different.
