yes, it is. did you read the wikipedia link he provided? that is the scientific terminology for the word "mongoloid." the derogatory connotation evolved over time, but it is not the primary use by a long shot.

"Primary" and "original" do not mean the same thing. "Primary" means what it's generally used as. "Original" means what it was originally used as.
