“The patriot, like the Christian, must learn that to bear revilings and persecutions is a part of his duty; and in proportion as the trial is severe, firmness under it becomes more requisite and praiseworthy.” ~ Thomas Jefferson, 1805

In this book (fantastic book) based in real events, the Spanish Captain of the Blue Division Teodoro Palacios, who fought against Russians in Rusia and spend several years in a Siberian gulag, calls Mongols and Huns to Russians again and again, but not as an insult itself, or at least not fully, but as a phenotypical description
Later they made a movie (fantastic movie) based in the book. In any moment Russians are called Mongols but some actors who played Russian roles looked clearly Mongoloid (no idea if they were Russian actors, I highy doubt; probably makeup)

I thought it was due to Kaiser Wilhelm's old speech that he gave about Germans needing to be like Huns and quell every non-German on earth or some shit like that. I don't think it was meant it to be a derogatory term. Hitler calling Brits 'island apes' certainly was derogatory.
