Is Biden off his meds?

[ifinnegan]

There’s no reason the Orient should be an offensive term.

It simply means the east and refers to East Asia.

But in the insane climate, it’s somehow made to be an offensive term.

But there are double standards for Dems.

[apillar]

That's offensive? I still use the term “oriental” to refer to someone of Asian background if I don't know specifically where they are from (sort of like European). Never knew even that is considered offensive now. So what IS the politically correct term for someone from Asia if you don't specifically know what country they are from?

[rogator]

The Orient is the Orient. It is what it is.
The PC police can KMA.
I am with Biden on this one

This 'guy' has done more for the world than any Democrat since Harry Truman.

Drinking again no doubt.

As much as I can’t stand “Slow Joe”, I am with him, on this one. None of the native born Asians, nor the older Americans of Asian heritage, that I know, have a problem with “Orient”, or “Oriental”. Some of the younger ones, of course, gripe about it, they have adopted a “victicrat” mentality (thank you, Larry Elder). This kind of stuff makes me ill....

[fishtank]

I agree with Biden. He deserves to be correct at least twice in one day.

I’ll side with Biden on this one, there’s nothing wrong with the term “Orient” or “Oriental”.

P!ss on political correctness.

[Argus]

Biden apparently stopped learning anything new in about 1959, and his view of the Inscrutable East was formed by Fu Manchu novels.

[Joe 6-pack]

Didn’t BHO attend Occidental before transferring to Columbia? Why would, “oriental,” be offensive, but, “occidental,” be a name worthy of an institute of higher learning?

[Resolute Conservative]

I’d bet that the majority of idiots (Biden included) don’t know that Pakistan, Afghanistan, Mongolia, all ?stans, India (sub Asian) are in Asia. To them Asia is Vietnam, China and Japan.

[Red Badger]

I’ve heard Asians themselves use the term. This is BS....................

[DeWalt]

If you blindfold an Oriental and spin him around three times, does he become disoriented?

[taxcontrol]

What is wrong with saying Orient to mean Asia?

[Fiji Hill]

Why the hell are “Orient” and “Oriental” now considered offensive? I have always considered “Oriental” to apply to the Eastern Med through the continent of Asia—roughly, from the Adriatic Sea to the Bering Strait.

[chajin]

Using the term “orient” was probably not intentional, but instead was occidental

[Fiji Hill]

I’m with Biden on this one, and I hope he doesn’t apologize.
