Julia Häusermann finds it hard to accept that she has Down syndrome.
She is very annoyed when someone calls her a Mongo.
It can happen that she serves them up a slap in the face.
She says:

"I find it's not correct.
I'm a person, that has a disability.
Simple.
What you're not allowed to say: mongoloid, mongo, bitch - under no circumstances.
Not arsehole either.
These words you are not allowed to use.
Otherwise, it can happen, that I give you a slap in the face.
I don't want that.
If I do that it's possible that the police will arrest me.
I don't want that.
Because I'm in a relationship.
Then he can't see me anymore."
