The “Orient” is a dirty word? Since when? Those Orwellian thought-police should go kill themselves.
On further reflection of our culture’s downward spiral, I remembered that I cannot call Native Americans “Indians”, or Japanese “Japs”, or black people.......oh never mind. Okay, we’ve offended Jews and Orientals today, who else can we offend? Everybody gets their turn to be offended. Hell, *I* am offended too.
