Came across an interesting fact: Down syndrome was called “mongolism” for a hundred years, until the Mongolian People’s Republic wrote to the WHO that it was not nice to do so. Then, gradually, the term fell out of use. The U.S. National Institutes of Health even recommended removing “Down” from the syndrome’s name, because Down did not have the disease, and it seemed as though he did. But they were ignored.
