Calling a one legged man "one legged man" is not degrading - its being accurate.
Calling a retard a retard is not degrading either.
However, if you are addressing somebody directly in most cases it would be rude and calous to call attention to their diability.
I find it disturbing that you equate ethnic groups with disabilities.
All people deserve respect for their humanity, but disabilities are a negative point. Ones ethnicity is not a negative point.
