“Orient” is a Eurocentric term. It definitely means east and is only east from Europe. If you are in Asia, Asia is most definitely not east. Yes it is offensive.

Your comment is wrong and ludicrous.

The Orient is the farthest east portion of Asia.

Asia and Europe are on the same land mass.

It is simple geography and in no way Eurocentric any more than Asiacentric.

What you said is regurgitation of the silliest, most ignorant liberal Marxist attempts to make even objective description of geography an act of racism and imperialism.
