I think it's considered derogatory to call them oriental.
But no, I don't think I have.

I see a Asian guy who is standing on the corner near Whole Foods in BR about once a week begging for money. I'm assuming he is homeless. He looks it

I have in the US a couple of times. It's pretty unusual.
But I imagine in Asia it happens all the time. Literally a billion people essentially live in shantytowns, existing on rice and beans with zero benefits, which is arguably worse off than being homeless in the US.

When did oriental become derogatory?

As a term to describe people? Quite a while ago. There is this new thing called the internet too. You can look up details on there and educate yourself.

Yeah. But it was when I went to Southeast Asia.

I remember a speaker coming to my school in like 1994 mentioning oriental is for objects, and Asian is for people. I wasn't in an overly progressive area, so sometime before that, I imagine.

So only the women can be referred to as oriental.

I would venture that San Francisco and Seattle have their fair share.

Nah, they got that Asian privilege.
