"I don't think it's an insult at all. People have turned it into an insult just to be difficult and have more distinct identity. Fine, so be it. That is YOUR hang up."

- if this statement was reffering to the use of the word "oriental", then sir you are wrong. it doesn't insult you because you're not asian. plain and simple. thats like you saying Using the N word isn't insulting, just all the black people that turned it into something difficult to have more identity. LOL end of rant. i know the difference between joking and racism. Im not saying youre racist but you cannot say that the word "oriental" is not insulting. you cant simply because youre not asian. end of story.
