'Just call me Sam'. Great campaign and great to hear from Sam who works at our City campus 👏.
'I don’t want to be called a ‘mong’. I don’t want to be called a ‘mongol’. I don’t want to be called a ‘spaz’.'. A woman with Down’s syndrome has thrown her support behind a campaign to end the historical misuse of the word ‘Mongol’.
