I had been looking up some history stuff a while ago and ended up on the Japanese Wikipedia page for Mongoloid. I decided to check the English page and I had a small chuckle at how massively different the two pages are.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongoloid
The English page is like 90% finding different ways to say "This term is RACIST and DISCREDITED and OBSOLETE and DEBUNKED" over and over again. And there's this little section put in there just to make sure you know Wikipedia's approved view on things.
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/モンゴロイド
Then you have the Japanese page which is goes a bit into where the term comes from and debate on whether some races outside Asia should be included, and then otherwise has a wealth of information about the genetic makeup and physical traits of Mongoloids, their migration history and branching racial tree, what kind of environments contributed to the natural selection of Mongoloid traits, and even a section on what races are racial mixes between a Mongoloid race and non-Mongoloid race.
The most it has similar to the English page is this one singular sentence that basically says "By the way, there's some people who opine that the Mongoloid concept is based on outdated racist views by Europeans and modern science doesn't support it." before going into all that information I mentioned.

After discussing various criteria used in biology to define subspecies or races, Alan R. Templeton concludes in 2016: "[T]he answer to the question whether races exist in humans is clear and unambiguous: no."

なお、「モンゴロイド」という概念は、数世紀前のヨーロッパ人による主観的な人種差別に基づく古い分類であり、最新の科学的な根拠に基づいていない分類である、とする見方もある。
