At the time, many people didn't understand why the word was "not nice". It was just what it was. If someone was MR, they were just MR. That was life. No one thought anything of it. Then it was "special". Then it was "challenged". All the same... Each person determines whether it is an insult or not. Our parents taught us how to respond and behave.
