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, that is correct, we no longer use the word "retarded" to describe people with intellectual disabilities, and it is considered a highly offensive and hurtful term. The correct term is "intellectually disabled" or "person first" terminology which describes an individual as a person first, rather than their disability.
