<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 41209, member: 29"]Interesting: we use the term Oriental here to refer to Chinese, Japanese, and sometimes Korean. Asian hauls in a few more countries, but Oriental isn't seen as an unacceptable term. We'd not use Asian to refer to Pakistani, Indian or Bangladeshi - they're not in Asia, for one thing. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> And certainly not for Middle Eastern which is a term in its own right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
