Don't call them Oriental. That's a rug.

I know I’m not supposed to, but is it ok if I call you retarded instead of whatever word is acceptable for your situation?

I appreciate the boldness of the smartass explanation you gave to a client.


I was trying to be very clear because I did not want to be involved in any kind of HR/racism thing. I have been a lot of places and ask out of town clients where they are from. I do this because I probably know something about their town and it helps develop a rapport.

And you can't call them Asian because that may be assuming they are from Pakistan, Israel, Iraq, or one of the many Asian countries. What do you suggest?

Orient means "where the Sun rises."

You have the Occident and the Orient.

West and East



The Orient - ergo everyone East of the European side of Istanbul is Oriental.

The Western World/The Occident (sunset)

Well, to be fair, if I were Filipino, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, etc I would be deeply offended if someone assumed I was Japanese.


Why? I’m American, but if I was in Japan or another Asian country and someone thought I was from England, I don’t think I’d be offended.


People from those countries hate each other.

On the one hand I can see be offended by being labeled from being from Japan. On the other hand, grow a f’ing pair you pussy.

Innocent Misunderstandings happen. Only assholes make a big deal out of them.

I once said "yes ma'am " to a taco bell cashier. Only to have the cashier reply back "I'm a guy". I apologized for the misunderstanding..because he was just a feminine looking dude.. he said "no big deal, it happens all the time " if that feminine looking guy was a liberal, my face would have probably been plastered on the 6pm news for misgendering him.

Central and South America should be Western. They were colonized predominantly by Spanish and Portuguese who are part of Western Civilization and the predominate languages are from Latin and the predominate religion is Roman Catholicism. That's pretty Western.
