::::: How is using the word "oriental" racist? It's not saying that my race is better. You don't even know my race, so don't act like you do. And the reason why I use oriental is because it is more specific than Asian. Asia is a big place. You have Indians, Pakistinians, Pacific Islanders, Eurasians, Russians, Middle Easterners, etc., so when one says Asian, they are being very general. Oriental however, means the Asian that you and many others think of. One could accuse YOU of racism for trying to lump everyone together. And I don't use the term negro. Fuck you.
