I have to agree with all of this...

"DONT give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses..."?

Using "oriental" for people does sound a bit odd but it does happen and I have never seen anyone get offended over it. I have even heard a Chinese girl use it in conversation to make clear she was talking about North Asians as opposed to sub-continent Asians. Maybe American Asians have just learned the all-American custom of getting offended over every little fucking thing whereas, out hear in the Orient, things are a bit more normal.

Asked an oriental girl about it today. She confirmed what Stunts said. She even added that some of the more sexy asian girls like to be classified as oriental. It sounds a bit mysterious, or something like that.

Oriental girls. very smooth skin. Very dark eyes.

Sorta like Negro?

All I know is that Korean tacos are as American as apple churros.

Looks Mexican to me.
