Encountered misuse of the word 'mongol'?

Dictionary Use:

The word "Mongol" has been distorted for many years. Our campaign focuses on the need to bring about a greater understanding of the word in its true sense – referring to people of Mongol ethnicity and the language and culture of the people.

Mongol /ˈmɒŋɡ(ə)l/ 
noun: Mongol, plural noun: Mongols
1. a member of a group of people who mainly live or originated from Mongolia but also in other parts of Central and North Asia 
2. the language of the Mongols; Mongolian.
adjective: Mongol; Mongolian
1. relating to the people of Mongol ethnic group or their language and culture. 
Definition. Broadly defined, the term includes the Mongols (also known as the Khalkha Mongols), Buryats, Oirats, the Kalmyk people and the Southern Mongols. In the thirteenth century, the word Mongol grew into an umbrella term for a large group of Mongolic-speaking tribes united under the rule of Chinggis Khaan. 

Media & Film
Films, media, and pop culture profoundly shape our perceptions of the world. Often, consumers believe the narratives they see, which can perpetuate stereotypes and racism. From costumes to sports mascots, what some see as innocent fun can attack another’s dignity. We aim to address issues of race, culture, and representation of Mongols in the media to reduce stereotypes and cultural myths. Beyond influencing language, we strive to remind people of the Mongol contribution to world history and retell the modern Mongol story.

Join us in exploring the multifaceted story of Mongol identity through the eyes of those who live it and study it firsthand. Discover new perspectives, deepen your knowledge, and contribute to a more informed and inclusive discourse on Mongol-related activities worldwide.

Guidance for medical professionals :
We urge medical practitioners to update their knowledge and their medical vocabulary in all print and online materials. 
The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is a globally used diagnostic tool for epidemiology, health management and clinical purposes. The ICD is maintained by the World Health Organization (WHO), which is the directing and coordinating authority for health within the United Nations System. We therefore expect all professional organizations and their practices to follow the international guidelines.
