I’ve heard Orientals use the word Oriental.

I’ve heard Orientals use the word Oriental
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
It is okay as long as it is used as ‘banter’ amongst Orientals.

However, if the NFL (after receiving a complaint from an Oriental that Occidentals were using the term derogatorily), banned the use of the word in and around any NFL Facility.

Which prompted the aforementioned Orientals to sue, saying THEY were being discriminated against using a word comfortable to them and the NFL banning it meant the Orientals were being ‘victimized’.

I seem to remember Sister Mary ______ telling us that the term Oriental was pertaining to the East (Asia) and Occidental was pertaining to the West (all NOT Asia I guess).

Of course She also told us Hawaii and Alaska were territories and an area in SE Asia was known as Burma and Indochina and, at the time French Indochina was in the news.

Guess she was wrong there also....
