Calling an Asian Oriental is like calling a black person colored. It's not the worst thing you could call them, but using it like that is antiquated. I will never understand why the white people pushback when other races express a preference for how they like being referred to. As if it's so much extra effort to honor their wishes and be polite. In truth, the people who whine about America becoming too PC are just annoying as those who are too easily offended.
overall one of the best posts on any subject on this whole site i've seen in a long time.

My only point is that it was never meant to be insulting by most people who used it and many who use it today don't mean any harm. It was not and is not the same as N for a black person.

oh i agree with you on that, my mom still says it on occasion and i know she doesn't mean it as an insult- she's 76 tho so i give her a little leeway on stuff. i just thought he had a good post on the issue as a whole.

It's not like you called them slant eyed budhaheaded chink. And for the record, if you have sex with an Asian American it is NOT true that you have to turn your penis sideways to put it in. As info
