Obama really picked Biden for VP because just standing next to him he looks like a genius.
Stand up, Chuck.
What hemisphere is Asia in?
That’s the first time I ever heard that Orient is now a slur. When did that happen?
What’s the problem with “orient”?
Tell it to the Chinese

I say “oriental”, I don’t care.
Actually, I think I should be saying “yellow”.
Why is the parlance of the day thus:
-white
-African-American
-Asian
See all the inconsistency?
Really the easiest and most “accurate” might be white/black/yellow. Or the official names, Caucasoid/Negroid/Mongoloid.
Why is 1 identified by “color”, but that is cruel and racist for the others?
The “African-American” thing really gets my goat. First, it implies they really came from Africa (that was common form in my youth - Italian-American, etc). It also is useless in any place BUT America. Are they African-Americans in Italy? (Story there)
They don’t bother saying American, but “Asian” again implies some area, and requires capitalizing it, another peeve of mine. IDs should be very easy to use.
Don’t get me going!
And the media give him a pass.
He’s an “old school” bigot. Today’s bigots know that they need to use politically correct language in expressing their bigotry. Has he ever read a book? Besides Rules for Radicals and the Koran, has Obama ever read a book?
Close enough for government work.
He didn’t do it on purpose. It was occidental.

There are a lot of cute ornamental girls from that part of the world.
Someone needs to tell Parker Bros. To change the name of Orient Avenue in “Monopoly” before someone gets offended!!
I’ll bet that set off a Chinese Fire Drill in the administration.
It's just a bit archaic. Like Biden.
Again, the whining of the perpetually offended is annoying.
These people should not be ignored, or pandered to.
They should be mocked and ridiculed. They act like whiny babies (worse, actually) but pretend to be adults.
Makes me want to wear a Washington Redskins shirt, have breakfast at Sambo’s, and take a ride on the Orient Express.
Biden has a different slant on things.
Did he say that Orientals are clean and articulate?
so now that we know “orient” is out, then one can not orient them self when lost nor go to an orientation?
