No, I'd have to call them Mongo's
We'd have Negros, Caucas, and Mongos running around schools.
You got my point clearly. If i went around calling whites Caucas (shorterned version of Caucasiod like Negro shortened version of Negroid) we'd have a mess on our hands. However, like I told the OP if someone did call me a Negro i'd probably laugh at them and not take them seriously similiar to white I think an Asian called a Mongo or a white being called a Caucas would do.
Again nothing to do with the scentific use of the word, but the point was merely to say if its okay to refer to blacks as Negros in common society based on the shortened scientific word we should also refer to the other races in the way. Nothing more nothingless who are you PC people, that always come on and make everything about PC. Not one person here made this a PC conversation. I could careless if you refer to them as little darkie, slanty eye, or ghost face. I'm just making the point those are all rude to say and no one should refer to someone in a rude way in polite society.
If we choose to refer to people in rude ways than do not limit it to one group.
