Asian or Oriental?

Oriental reminds me of top ramen and dental work, asian I have nothing really associated with it 'except japanese and chinese people despite the fact that the term asian describes a lot more people than that.
 
Just remember. When I was a kid the term Oriental was never considered to be disrespectful or negative in any way but merely descriptive. If I use that term I mean no malice yet I try to use Asian now.
 
The two are not interchangeable. Some orientals are asian, others are not. Why would an oriental prefer being called asian if they're not?
 
It's sorta like saying "Hi I'm Arty" and everyone hears "Hi I'm Marty". You eventually give up and say "Yeah I'm Marty....".

Naw. See, you lose because you couldn't keep the theme.

That would be Caucasian Cracker.

Try harder next time.
