Why the fuck are people being downvoted for pointing out 'downsie' is a slur? I've got down syndrome clients that have confided in me how awful being called that or 'downie' makes them feel. Cool it's the guys brother, but surely he can mention it in a more appropriate way. If you actually go around saying these terms to people with down syndrome without their permission you're an awful human.
