    Or as is what now is considered outdated and often an offensive term to Asian people - Oriental!

    Wait now ... I thought oriental was the correct way of differentiating Chinese from folk of the Indian subcontinent.

    Am I guilty of thought crimes?

    Bloody PC occidental.

    Slant eyed, yellow faced gook.
    Now that would be offensive.
    Oriental - not so much.

    I had to Google it, couldn't believe it was considered derogatory, thought I was being thoughtful all these years

    Occidental means Western Hemisphere (Americas), and Oriental means Eastern Hemisphere (Asia).
    Both are classical terms from Latin.
    First I heard too that Oriental was derogatory.

    Suppose we cannot tell the old joke now  my mother was Oriental, my father was Occidental and I was accidental.

    Yeah, it's like calling Arlene Foster Irish.

    Wonder if she's a fan of 'Orange is the New Black'

    But seriously if someone were to call me a 'Hibernian', I would be seriously offended.
    I am not a member of any ancient order-despite what gillyland says.

    Well, just because it is classical Latin doesn’t make it inoffensive, I suppose.

    The infamous “N” word is classical Latin and at one time was not considered offensive either.
