Here in California we use the term “accountants” and “horrible drivers”.
I know, my bad! :-)

In my neighborhood we use the term to describe the guy who puts starch in our shirts!

This is ridiculous!.....Sure!... just charge the taxpayer for the extra printing when you say “persons of Asian or Pacific islander heritage” instead of Oriental....WHAT A BUNCH OF DAMN JACKASSES!!
To: JoeProBono
it’s already a social taboo. I was “educated” on this years ago.

One thing we can say about any of them is they are usually hard working.

That reminds me of a Chinese laundry that got sued because it’s working owners were brothers who wore T-shirts that said “Two Wongs will make it White”.....

Who knows how many business in NY include the offending word...
To: markomalley
So.... NOW THEY HAVE TO REPRINT EVERYTHING and trash all the current forms... But, the trashed forms WILL be recycled!
$$$$$ out the window!
To: JoeProBono
Does "Asian" include anyone from the continent of Asia or just those who are "Aaaaasian" (puts fingers in the corners of eyes and pulls back to make them slanty). Similar to "African"-American doesn't include people originally from Egypt.

“Oriental” is derogatory now?
Guess I didn’t get the memo...

What’s offensive about “Oriental”? A lot of Orientals call themselves that.

This explains why, whenever I visit New York I feel strangely disoriented.
