Seems to only be considered derogatory in North America. I myself use the term Asian but the area was referred to as The Orient so I'm not entirely sure why Oriental is so un-PC. |
This is exactly the wording, Orient means East, I suppose, I was slightly incorrect stating similar to European rather than British or English, although, similar to Westoner or Eastoner.
I'd always say, let's go enjoy a Chinese this evening, or so for some Thai, some Indian, But I don't say, let's get some USA for a burger or a Sunday roast, I don't say, let's get some British food.
I think some people in this thread, like all of my threads are just finding a way to mock or act ignorant & childish. If this thread, like all of mine, was created by another user, nothing may not have been said, and only the ladies would have been spoke about.
I'm still wondering if anyone's hired or shot these models before
