re: #125 Spare O’Lake

I was not aware that the usage “Oriental” has become unacceptable. Is it only the use as a noun that is objectionable, or is the adjective also verboten?

I was informed of that fact after using the term back in the early ’90s by a friend who was more in tune with such things. I felt like the goober from a small upstate NY town that I mostly was. Or like my parents.

I’d avoid either use, by the way….
