[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Afx: Not to sound completely daft, but aren’t Oriental people, well, Oriental? I know Asian might be a preferred term, but people from Asia are Oriental, just like people from the West are Occidental. It might be a dated usage, but it is technically correct.[/quote]
Allan,
I really don’t give a shit if someone calls me “oriental”…But supposedly, oriental refers to inanimate objects, and not people. Doing so *supposedly* is derrogatory, particularly to asian women…… Hence all the porn titles “Oriental Hottie”, Oriental XXX”, etc….
…not that I really care….nor do I know most asians that really care…I don’t know many porn stars.
