Unexpectedly, the French also associate congenital dementia with the Mongolian race.

I originally thought it was something in the English-speaking cultural circle, but I didn't expect it to exist in France, it seems to be very traditional.
It's not that the French have any realm, but after all, France is very tolerant in the impression.
I know that mongolism was officially not used for Down syndrome in the late 60s in English. But I also know that in 1978 the devo band still released a song called "mongoloid" with lyrics expressing people with Down syndrome, and this song is still very popular. Of course, I can also fully understand this connection. The most typical East Asians do have similarities. No, even China has used the word Mongolian disease. I am just surprised. It seems a little too obvious. 2 are involved.

The film itself is believable and full of humor








, don't tell me about Belgium, I know it.
