I can tell you a slightly out of touch, who uses the terms Oriental or Negro these day? Indians are considered Asian as are “orientals”, you must have been born in 1945.

No, I’m not, I am using the terms to point out racial differences.. If you can’t see that you are not only born after 1945, but likely had a rather poor education.

Asian is a term that can cover anyone from the Asian continent, That covers everthing from Arabs, Persians, Orientals, Mongols, and Indians, oh and believe it or not, there are caucasians breeding on that vast continent as well as well as a plethora of other lesser races spread accorss the isles of the Indian Ocean. If you think those are all one “race” in terms of their physical characteristics you are either incredibly naive, blind, poorly educated, or some combination of all three.

We are talking about races and their physical characteristics. Negro while perhaps not taught at whatever dumbed down institution of learning you went to because of fear of not being politically correct, is the correct racial name. African is not appropriate, as again, that’s a location of birth not a RACE. The African continent contains plethora of races.

Whites are not “europeans” they are caucasians. Just as Indians, Orientals and Arabs are not “Asians” when discussing their RACE. They are completely different in terms of their physical racial characteristics, which is what this discussion is about. Its not a discussion about geography.
