I've heard that we don't say the word retarded, anymore. Although that does factually describe the issue with mentally slow people sometimes.

Yes, the term "retarded" is considered offensive and is no longer considered an appropriate description for people with intellectual disabilities. A more appropriate term is "intellectual disability" which better recognizes the diverse capabilities and abilities within the intellectually disabled population.
