I was just joshing. For some reason the “eastern Asian Orientals” do not like being called “Orientals”. They prefer “Asian”. But as you already know, that is not a complete definition of people.
My wife’s ancestors were from near Shanghai. She prefers “oriental” to “Asian.” I heard her asking her sister once, “When did we become Asian?”

Wrong. My half-Vietnamese half-Chinese wife hates being called Asian. She says Asian means India and Pakistan. She calls Putin Asian. She prefers Oriental.
