This reminds me of "Hispanic" and how that term upsets some people.

I saw a Cuban kid get called Hispanic once. Thought he was going to light the room on fire he was so pissed.

As far as Oriental, it's an antiquated term like Negroes. And I imagine it has a lot to do with the colonial origin of the term, where it comes from an old European renaming/rebranding of their ethnicity. I don't have an issue with that and see it more of a not looking like a fricking idiot when addressing them.
