<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 3486208, member: 23"]My daughter had to tell me this a few years ago and was kind of indignant that I didn't know the difference. When I was a kid in school we used the terms Occidental and Oriental. At that time, as far as I knew, it referred to people from geographical locations. Until maybe ten years ago, I had no idea that the term had evolved into something politically incorrect. Also, the term Caucasian referred to populations to the west of the Caucasus Mountains and Asians to the East. I don't think anyone my age is being racist if we use the wrong term if we haven't been enlightened.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
