Downies over niggers any day. We don't have roaming packs of downies chimping out. Also, assuming that the quoted text in the article are the exact quotes spoken by the downies, they are capable are far better communication than niggers.

Weren't they already?

Nope, this should not be a thing. I have a son with Down's, and there's no way he could "earn" a degree like this. However, as others have said, he behaves exponentially better than niggers that I've seen. Even with his diminished capacity, he still understands that there are just things you don't do as a human being. But a bachelor's degree? No, that's not going to happen.
