Yeah, cos we need a disabilist tag.

What does one say instead of dumb? Stupid? I'm actually asking, I'm not trying to be smart. I mean, I know the historical meaning of dumb, but surely it's not still used in that context anymore...or maybe I'm unaware.

You know, I fail to see why this is an issue.
