What if I told you people I grew up with use wetback and coolie and it's not considered racist?
Maybe we should all relax.
Now they use round eyes lolLiterally no one uses that word anymore.
As general rule i like changes
I dislike changes to please peoples idiocy, fanatism, propaganda, nonsense outrage etc
Recent years and 2017 are full of the latter, wich is embarassing as a former "left" guy that once gave fucks about politic
I don't like speak for others, but if i was an oriental living in USA i will probably being more upset at being nobody's political main audience rather than be pissed at semantic shit
Not that i believe many asians are bitching about it, from outside they seem like one succesful and pragmatic minority group
I symphatized for chinese peoples in UK when i read they're pissed at UK media spamming the term "asians" for criminal or suspects of obvious middle-east ethnicity, in that case instead empty semantic (specially because middle-eastern ARE asians, but the term has ever been used for eastern/south eastern ones) you have as ethnic group that don't want dirt on it's name because this or that news outlet want to win retard-PC olympics playing dumb on purpose.
Same group of peoples
Same type of issue
Way different spirit behind it
But your reply is ok too, some trends have to born somewhere
I know I don't use the term but some of my relatives use China man, and Chinito to describe asians.
Didn't know you were related to Yuli.
dont see any outrage there.
White Americans got irrationally sensitive about it.
Then a generation of easterners raised in America were raised on that brainwashing.
Next thing you know: 'it's offensive'
Do you guys in the US call Indians Asian as well?
In the UK we still use oriental.
Asian is for Indians/Pakistanis/Middle East
Oriental for Chinese, Japanese etc
Theres an Oriental Society at my University, that's their official title
Do you guys in the US call Indians Asian as well?
Right? Even when I was a kid it was considered offensive. They don't like being called that, should be reason enough.nope. we were taught that it was offensive in the 80s.
Orient/Oriental typically & ought to refer only to Chinese folks. but still, some Chinese folks find that offensive.
They don't like being called that, should be reason enough.
I dont give a fuck really
Put the person first. Say “a person from the Orient” rather than “an Oriental (person)” Say “people from the Caucus Mountains” rather than “a Caucasian (person)” A person isn’t defined by their disability – they are a person before anything else.
Are westerners offended to be called occidental? Maybe because it's very close to accidental and that has a slight negative connotation but Oriental just means countries from the east.
