American society has come a long way in treating mentally challenged people with dignity and respect. But for some reason it's apparently still culturally acceptable to mock and discriminate against people in the roughly 70 – 90 IQ range; they're on the low side of normal but not low enough to be diagnosed as intellectually disabled. I see that attitude all the time among technologists and the cultural elite.
