For me, context determines whether or not these words are hurtful. When used to imply that people w/ MI are in any way inferior, than yes, they are offensive. I don't mind when they are used in a light-hearted, joking way. I have used these terms on myself like that.

my dr. wrote that i was "unsuitable" to serve on a jury. he got the message across but i found that offensive. i haven't thought of myself like that.
