@Madmick so negroid is acceptable under your watch? Shit it's even in your thread.
Okay, Lead has cleaned up this derail, but FYI, for future reference:
First, consider that I don't read everything at the exact moment you do.
Second, it isn't blocked by our word filter, and it isn't listed as an ethnic slur at Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_slurs
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_slurs_by_ethnicity
Third, in the Wiki already linked for you it is noted that while it is advisably avoided by academics that is only due to the potential for perceived offense. That same Wiki mentions "Negro" has a similar connotation, and yet, at the request of older
black Americans, the latter term was restored to the U.S. census in 2010. The unabridged OED, despite that it notes this term carries a modern connotation for offensiveness, also indicates that the term "negroid" is derived from-- or following rather-- this term "negro".
We attempt to be sensitive to perceived slights, but this can be tricky because outrage alone doesn't validate the call for censorship, and opinions about what exceeds civility in conversation is itself controversial. Feelings aren't facts, and posters are often ignorant. You yourself just conflated "Negroid" with "Mongoloid" when those are mutually exclusive groups within the antiquated diction of this forensic anthropology.
To answer your question, adding force to the deletions of my colleague, no, we don't care for that term, and we would like posters to avoid that term. It's an inevitable trip down the rabbit hole to "scientific racism". There are alternative, more modern terms with more accurate, useful, objectively-delineated definitions which are less potentially offensive, and more useful for discussion.
