Anyone here know just what type voter Lee Atwater meant when he used the term " extra chromosome " person? Who would they be in today's world?

1. One result of having an extra chromosome
is Down's Syndrome. (Where you have an extra 21st chromosome.)

3. Omg
I doubt that what he meant, but what a cruel way for him to put whatever he did mean.

4. From DEVO-Are We Not Men?
mongoloid he was a mongoloid
happier than you and me
mongoloid he was a mongoloid
and it determined what he could see
mongoloid he was a mongoloid
one chromosome too many...

but I suppose the 'hypermale (2 Ys + 1 X) could be what he meant. It depends on the context, as to which broken diploid he was speaking...
