This might almost be a politically correct derogatory term. Am I wrong? (In the sense that "retard" is not politically correct because it's based in a negative stereotype.)

It is at least not a medical term thrown around as an insult until it had to be replaced in medical use with something less loaded.

Thanks! I was afraid of something like that, which is why I tried to check.
