Caitlyn Jenner Mocked For Misspelling R-word
“The research shows that when social media users are posting about people with intellectual disabilities, 7 in every 10 of those posts are negative, and 6 in 10 contain a slur,” the Special Olympics post stated.
“While ‘mental retardation’ was originally introduced as a medical term in 1961 for people with intellectual disabilities, in the decades since, the R-word has become an insult used all too commonly in everyday language.”
Instead of acknowledging her mistake, Jenner doubled down and attacked the outlet.
