Orienteering

1. "Oriental" is a term generally applied to the "race"/ethnicities that inhabit the region from [Myanmar] (formerly [Burma]) all the way to Korea and Japan. It's a term referring to geography ("East") and is not an offensive or slur word. Some politically correct people in America think it is but I've known some Koreans, Japanese, Vietnamese and others from [the Orient] in college and they do not find the word to be offensive at all. 2. There are groceries and restaurants that specialize in [East Asian] food. Many of them use the word "Oriental" on their signs, so apparently they don't see that word as a racial slam, do they? 3. [Rugs] made in Iran or India are still called "Oriental [rugs]". They are nice, huge, heavy and expensive. 4. There's been an Oriental presence and influence in America for a long time. There are Chinatowns, [Japanese-American] communities, Vietnamese neighborhoods and Korean neighborhoods on the West Coast states (especially California) and they have been in America for over 160 years. Like all ethnic groups here they have played an important role in making the U.S.A. the great nation that it is today. 5. Also in the Pacific West coast states the Native American peoples have oral traditions detailing of contact with Oriental people long ago. The [travellers] were probably Chinese, Japanese and others. Relations with those visitors were pretty good. 6. Oriental nations have given the world many contribution in the fields of sciences, arts, military strategy, medicine and more. ❋ I Saw U2 Live Twice (2009)
