If it were to me, I would create new scientific term to describe asiatic people.
For example:

Nothern asianoid
East asianoid
Central asianoid
Southeast asianoid



"Mongoloid" was racist term used by whites to degrade the appearance of asian people.It's original
definition refers people with down symdrome or born with retarted faces.Even inbreds who were born from incests were branded as mongoloids, it even mean't people born from an degenerated of caucasoids, back than these people were considered freak of nature.

Here is the original defination of mongoloid.







Mongoloid is now the scientific term to describe the people back than in 17th-19th century it had extremely offensive meaning.East asians were exaggeratedly depicted and were called slanty eye monkeys and were ridiculed by whites. Whites would stretched their eyes to offense.This term was also used to humiliate the finns by calling them mongoloid.Even today finns will get very pissed off if you call them mongoloid. In fact this made the finns feel they were inferior because of there features.

Example





Round eyes phenotypes exists in every race.Not all asians are born with slanty eyes.Different phenotypes can evolved due to the different enviroment you live in not because of any bull$hit admixture.Many finnish people and north europeans have slanty eyes too, many indegious finnish tribes have slanty eyes too but not because of admixture but due to the cold weather that made their eyes shrink.Southeast asians have dark skin because there closer to equator, just like south americans who's phenotypes evolved too.


SKIN COLOR MAP DISTRIBUTION





The reason why chinese,mongolian,korean,japanese tend to look alike is because they live in same
climate.However there is an facial distiction among them, you just need to concentrate. Just like there is an distiction among swedish and italians.Although both are classified as white regardless.Btw the vietnamese especially in the south tend to look more like cambodian,thais. While northen vietnamese tend to look more east asians. The more south you go the more southeast asian you look. Although there always acceptions

Indegious north americans and south americans are genetically very similar.However the north tend to look more east asians, while south americans tend to to look southeast asians.South americans are the result of northern eskimos who migrated to south THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO.SO WHY DO THEY LOOK SO DIFFERENT? the answer is simple and obvious.If you just look at the map.Btw Native american indians are mongoloid but not asian at all,they've evolved seperatelty from the rest of us.



North americans close to canada





South americans close to mexico,brazil,peru.

LoveAndPeace discussed something important:

i agree. i think they should just use "asian." screw all the fancy terms..

According to your best friend "Asian" is offensive.

an asianoid?
bahahaha

As a tan-skinned wide-eyed Khmer, I am very offended by the Mongoloid label.

Mong-Austroloid is more appropriate.

asianoid ? sounds so stupid

How about.... chinoid(chinese), Koreanoid(korean), Japanoid (japanese). The term mongoloid term has to go,it's an degrading term used to insult asian people.

But.....why should the term Mongoloid change when the word MONGOL was around before the term MONGOLISM that made the term MONGOLOID offensive?

To put it in perspective say there was a term called British for British people.
Then East asians controleld the world and its subsequent realities and made a term for a genetic defect called Britishism which reminded you of the word British.
Now shouldnt the term Britishism be changed rather than British?

ACtually, no you are right.

The term Mongolism was associated with Mongoloid and vice versa so both terms are offensive and the term Mongol is a separate issue.

History of the concept
Chart showing human genetic clustering, Mongoloids are in pink

In 1865, Thomas Huxley presented the views of polygenesists of which Huxley was not as "some imagine their assumed species of mankind were created where we find them... the Mongolians from the Orangs."[18]

Mongolism: Obsolete name for Down syndrome.

Down syndrome refers to the 19th century English physician J. Langdon Down who described the condition in 1866. In great error, Langdon Down attributed the condition to a "reversion" to the "mongoloid race." He held that evolution had been reversed and there had been a sort of backslide from the superior Caucasian to the inferior Oriental race. The misnomer "mongolism" is incorrect and racist and is to be avoided.

We should call ourselves SUN people.

Hi DK.

Hello Horseman, you only just realised it was me? o_0

I had a feeling it was, but that just confirmed it.

lol

The westerners were just jealous of great Mongol empire,during the Mongol invasion in Europe,their best unified soldiers just got pawned by Mongolians.
That's why they gave this glorious name to a disease

haha i never heard anyone calling me or anyone mongoliod but i heard them call me chi.nk

where do they call asians mongoliod??? not in england i tell you.

yeah same with Madamoiselle....

I've NEVER even heard of the word mongoloid before i joined AF.

i dunno, maybe you guys just come from really racist areas or something.

but i haven't heard it yet in Australia.

Who the hell cares. The 21st century belongs to Asia (or more specifically, China). It's going to become strong, and by that time, no one can say sh*t. They can call us Mongoloids, ch!nks, whatever you want to call it, and it won't even matter because there's nothing they can do to stop our economy from growing, and they can't stop China's rising power.

It's a term from anthropology textbook from what I can recall.

How about "Asiatic"?
"Asian" is confusing b/c it also includes the non-Mongoloids like Arabs, Persians, Indians, Pakistanis, etc.
When I look at historical American documents, I notice the word "Asiatic" is used a lot to describe Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, etc.

Do they still use that word? I thought "Mongoloid" was phased out already. Personally I never cared for it, but fortunately antropologists have decided to break down ethnicities into about 5 groups now, not 3 (one for each continent in the old world I guess was the former reasoning). Personally I think all this attention to classification is moronic...If aliens were to appear they'd say we were all the same species and laugh at the distinctions anthropoplogists make. Honestly I think that profession IS filled with racists. (These are the same PHD people who study skulls and say that the Africans are less developed, among other things.)
