Exactly why my Vietnamese wife insists that she’s an Oriental not an Asian.And yet we're told that "oriental" is a racist, insulting, and politically incorrect term.
It is so difficult keeping the think-speak straight...

Never mind. Once you think you have the Newspeak/Thinkspeak correct, they will move the goalposts.

Objects are Oriental, not people.

My mother always used the term oriental so I did also. I just found out a few years ago it was racist. Hard to keep up.
