Here in California we use the term “accountants” and “horrible drivers”.

I know, my bad! :-)

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.

What the **** are you talking about? The Chinaman is not the issue here, Dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line, you DO NOT...

Also, Dude, Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

Why is this in the Times of India and not a New York periodical?

How about just O - this country has come to love short words - or “the O word” like we already have “the N word”?

The bill, sponsored by Assemblywoman Grace Meng and Senator Craig Johnson, was earlier unanimously passed by both houses of the New York State.

I’ve been to New York. Lots of “rugs of asian origin” in the hotel lobbies there!

“Oriental” simply means “eastern”. “Negro” simply means “black”...why things like this ever cause offense, I don’t know.

I’m offended when I’m called “caucasian”. I’m not caucasian. I don’t believe that white Europeans originated in the Caucasus region. Anyone want to take up my cause?

My wife is Oriental and she hates the term Asian. She says that Russians are Asian.
