re: #98 Gus 802

The Orient includes Persia (Iran) and Egypt. I’m pretty sure that Mr. Eberle does not understand that distinction. It’s OK to use the word Orient but saying Oriental is to be avoided and is also considered and outdated and archaic word.

I think this has been discussed before at LGF and there are some differences within particular countries such as the UK where Oriental is not considered offensive.

Remember how people here used to get hysterical when Pakistani terror suspects were called “Asians” by the British press?
