What's wrong with saying oriental? I never thought of it as a racial remark.

Oriental is defined as far east...far east from where?....Europe. Who is to say that they are the center of the known world and that everything is originated from there?

You don't see people running around calling white people Occidentals....

ASIAN
is not
Oriental.
head bowed, submissive, industrious
model minority
hard working, studious
quiet

ASIAN
is not being
Oriental
Lotus blossom, exotic passion flower
inscrutable

ASIAN
in no talking
Oriental
ahh so, ching chong chinaman
no tickee, no washee

ORIENTAL
is a white man's word
Oriental is j_ap, flip, ch1nk, g00k
it's "how 'bout a back rub mama-san"
it's "you people could teach them n1ggers
and mexicans a thing or two
you're good people
none of that hollerin' and protesting"

ORIENTAL
is slanty eyes, glasses, and buck teeth
Charlie Chan, Tokyo Rose, Madam Butterfly
it's "a half hour after eating chinese food
you're hungry again"
it's houseboys, gardeners, and laundrymen
Oriental is a fad: yin-yang, kung fu
"say one of them funny words for me"
Oriental is downcast eyes, china doll
"they all look alike"
Oriental is sneaky
Oriental is a white man's word

WE ARE NOT Oriental.

Hate to continue to derail a thread, but someone using "Oriental" in a hapless manner...its obvious he wasn't being racist...is not in the same ballpark as using "n1gg3r"

Relax, it was obviously unintentional...as using the N word could never be.

right...i never said that he was a racist...i just wanted to let him know that it wasn't an appropriate word to use because if we let something "unintentional" happen and brush it aside as unintentional, it will keep getting used again and again until we're desensitzed by it and that's when things go downhill

I think you're the only one with a stick up your ass. I get oriental flavor ramen all the time and I think nothing of it. Seriously chill with the PC crap. We have starving children in Africa.

you think nothing of it cuz it would take too much effort for you to start thinking

o...so offend an Asian...and it's "chill with the PC crap". Betcha...if words like "beaners", "brownbacks", "crackers", "rednecks" "sambo" "n1ggers" came out....you wouldn't be saying "chill with the PC crap"

sheesh, you sir are making an ordeal out of nothing...call me a cracker, redneck, [insert derogatory cliche' for white folk here] and I could care less. These remarks are what you make of them...to think someone would call me the above on purpose and it would have little effect, yet you're getting worked up over a misinterpretation / accidental use of a single word. If you're trully that angry over the use of "oriental" you may have some other issues that need to be dealt with.

Oriental offensive? I'm part Japanese and neither me nor my family find it offensive. We use it all the time. Talk about oversensitive.

I always thought Oriental was used to desribe an object, and Asian was used to describe people. "Oriental Rug" , "Asian Man"
Oh well. You can't please all teh Orientals I guess....

BTW, I got my 2 Razrs for $74.99 each, no contract.

I'm fine with "Asian." Hell I'm Asian. I say I'm a cheap Asian.

Anyways, Go to ANY Asian store and you can get a RaZr for free. I sometimes have to laugh at you guys when you talk about cell phone deals, but I feel that we Asians seriously do the best deals out there....

$100 for K750i.

BTW, I found out that T-Mobile pays better comissions than Cingular. THus if you go to an Asian store where they do like every friggn carrier, you will ALWAYS get a better deal with T-Mobile.

My coworker was beaming today when he picked it up for $199 WITH a contract. Such an idiot.

that sucks... this phone has been free with contract for a while now.

BTW.. carver1 is right, oriental is for objects and asian for people. it kinda bugs me when people refer to me as oriental but its almost never intended to be insulting so i just politely tell them and let it go. i definitely dont think its nearly as offensive as the N-word which is blatantly offensive.

I would just pick up a free one with a 2 year contract. 2 years fly by pretty quickly and you can always pick up a new phone if the need arises on ebay or something after your first one year warranty on the phone runs out.
