[edit] "outer" Mongolia questionable

Hello-

I would like to suggest that the author refrain from using the term "Outer" when referring to the independent state of Mongolia. I realize that the author is trying to distinguish between wresting styles in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (IMAR) vs Mongolia. However, the term "outer" may be considered offensive.

To wit, the Wikipedia article on "Outer Mongolia"

[The name 'Outer Mongolia' is felt by many to reflect a Sinocentric perspective that takes the northern part of Mongolia as "outer", while the southern portion, closer to the Chinese capital (Beijing), is regarded as "inner". ]

Respectfully, Kimberly Fitzmorgan
