President Obama signed into law today a measure to replace references to minorities considered offensive -- such as "oriental" and "negro" from federal law.
The legislation, sponsored by Rep. Grace Meng, D-New York, is an effort to "modernize terms relating to minorities," replaces a slew of terms in a public health law written in the late 1970's with terms are considered more politically correct today.

Besides, that's what "other purposes" are for, after all.
Meng is literally from a family of thugs and criminals:
Daddy was a crooked politician and Baby Brudder is complicit in a murder
Just a bunch of bigots, low lifes, and thugs.
Is Mulatto still allowed?
No and mocha is henceforth banned as well. Careful how you order a latte.
She is a perfect fit for the criminal government in D.C.
“Oriental” ?
Gonna piss my daughters off! Then again that might be a good thing.
Here it is as a stand alone bill.
H. R. 4238
To amend the Department of Energy Organization Act and the Local Public Works Capital Development and Investment Act of 1976 to modernize terms relating to minorities.
Section 1. Modernization of terms relating to minorities
(a)Office of minority economic impact
Section 211(f)(1) of the Department of Energy Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7141(f)(1)) is amended by striking "a Negro, Puerto Rican, American Indian, Eskimo, Oriental, or Aleut or is a Spanish speaking individual of Spanish descent" and inserting "Asian American, Native Hawaiian, a Pacific Islander, African American, Hispanic, Puerto Rican, Native American, or an Alaska Native".
(b)Minority business enterprises
Section 106(f)(2) of the Local Public Works Capital Development and Investment Act of 1976 (42 U.S.C. 6705(f)(2)) is amended by striking "Negroes, Spanish-speaking, Orientals, Indians, Eskimos, and Aleuts" and inserting "Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islanders, African American, Hispanic, Native American, or Alaska Natives".
So they’ve lumped all native Alaskans together instead of referring to them by their ancestral lineage? How insensitive!
That’s what is important to this schmuck and the idiots who support it.
He does away with the word negro. Will he do away with the word red and green etc?
"Negro" and "Negroid" are anthropological terms, not racial. Get over yourself you race obsessed, homosexual POS!!
Going to try and get rid of "Caucasian" next? I am sure you wish you could, literally............
Honestly, the I haven’t heard the term Oriental in a decade.
What do Oriental Negroes have to say about this? Because really, there are some.
We better not use the word denigrate. And the French language is sexist. The language has masculine and feminine words. Spanish is also sexist as well as Italian.
So it is now OK to talk about the “natives” being restless?
Well; what are we supposed to call them now?
Chinks and Coons?
Zips and Splibs?
Slant Eyes and Nappy Heads?
Slopes and Spades?
All of us Albino, Blanco, Peckerwood, Bubba, Blue eyed Devil, Cracker, Buckra, Rednecks want know.
Negro is out...?
Is ‘Colored People’ OK to use, or does it have to be reversed to ‘People of Color’?
People of WHICH Color? Black, I assume, but what about Brown? Red(skins)?
Yellow? Green, Blue, Orange...
Even Pink, Tan & ‘White’?
Do acceptable terms change yearly? Monthly? Daily? Based on barometric pressure & wind direction?
"... amended by striking `... Puerto Rican ... and inserting ` ... Puerto Rican..."
Yep. that should make all the difference.
