Actually Knighthawk is correct, its PC speak for Muslim.

Thanks for the correction. Do they no longer refer to those from Japan/China, etc as Oriental, or is it all rolled into "Asian" these days?

Thanks!

We tend to speak of people from east of India as Oriental, Far Eastern or Asian. Id say now probably Far Eastern is the most used term. There is no one usage. Usually they are just referred to by nationality, occasionally by any of the above ‘catch all’ terms.

Just as we use South East Asian occ. to refer to Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, but usually use the individual nationalities.
