You are an idiot.

QFT!!

Actually, he is right about that. Oriental means material or a product from the Orient, people are Asian.
But anyone who takes offense to someone saying Oriental is a freaking idiot.

Not really, I'm chinese, and although I use "Asian" more, I don't think oriental is limited to just objects. My mom uses it a lot to differentiate between eastern asian and indian etc.

From what I know, it is an insult calling one person from a racial group of another race.

The same goes for calling a Chinese a Japanese, or calling a Japanese a Korean, or a Korean a Chinese.

It is the pride of each race/nationality/ethnicity that got hurt when you got called the wrong name.

so true...Mexicans call me chino too and I'm not one.:)

I had an El Salvadorean baby sitter when my kids were growing up. The first month when she was with us...I thought she was Mexican. She was obviously tick off when I told her abt it. :)

She said that she considers Mexican like the bandidos of the past. Pancho Villa comes to mind...a villain to some and Robin Hood to the poor Mexicans. Did not ask to elaborate and was not curious enough to further delve abt it.

Wanna know whats fvcked up?
Puertoricans are made of Spaniards, Natives of Puertorico aka (tainos) and Africans.
So they are the equivalent of a mutt. Puertoricans didnt even exist until The spaniards came and brought africans and started a 3 way breeding frenzy.
Oh and BTW i am Puertorican. One side of me thinks..damn..im a mutt and another part says well if that didnt happen i wouldnt exist now.
w00t? go PUERTO RICO!

You do realize that this is a recent development, right? It never offended or had any negative conatations till someone got their panties in a wad for whatever reason and decided to b!tch about it. All of my oriental friends think this new rule is absurd also.

For the record:
Italian dude : Italian leather.
Native American : Native American Pottery
Persian family : Persian rug
Swede : Swedish meatball
European : European car
Oriental dude : Oriental rug

No it is not the same thing, you're talking different races, we're talking Countries associated within a particular race.

OK, imagine that wherever you went, people called you a Texan. Because, you know, all Americans are from Texas.

Originally posted by: thespeakerbox I think we should stick with country derivatives, because there is no Hispania. People should suck it up and stop whining.

The goverment created hispanic so they dont have 5 million checkboxes on forms.

You mean there IS a Whiteland, Blackmenistan, and Asiascar?

I used to have a Springer Spaniel, great dog. It wasn't a mutt, it was a purebreed.
