Just hours after apologizing for using what was perceived as an anti-Semitic slur, Vice President Joe Biden deployed another term Wednesday that some might consider ethnically offensive. Speaking at a campaign finance reform rally in Iowa, Biden recalled a meeting he had with Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore. Biden described Yew as “the wisest man in the Orient.” The terms “orient” and “oriental” are considered widely outdated and offensive to Asians. Earlier in the day, Biden apologized for having recently described opportunistic bankers as “Shylocks,” a reference to a greedy Jewish money loaner in an Shakespearean play.

So am I giving him a pass on this.
If Biden takes the epitath back, he becomes an Indian giver.
Speech codes of totalitarian progressives. Nothing more. I will not abide.
You are more right than you know.

At least he didn’t call them Chinamen...
Are there not hundreds of Chinese restaurants in the USA with Orient(al) in the name? My local one is. In this rare instance, I am with crazy Joe.
“Orient” is not offensive. “Joe Biden” is offensive.
This is absolute crap. The terms terms “orient” and “oriental” were discarded for "asian" so that Muslims could be called "asian" instead of identified as Muslim. If anything, discarding “orient” and “oriental” is racist as hell - what do Chinese and Japanese and Korean have to do with Indian and Afghani? Zero. In fact, they diverge very markedly from each other. Who the hell are white liberals to decide the description of races all over the world solely for their political machinations - and what the hell is wrong with the members of all these different races that they don't tell liberals to go to hell?
And while I'm on it, there just so happens to be one or two genetic differences betwen "white" people, too. And black people. And everyone, dammit.
Vile, stinking, scheming, manipulative liberals.
“Kung Fu Fighting”
Oh-hoh-hoh-hoah
Oh-hoh-hoh-hoah
Oh-hoh-hoh-hoah
Oh-hoh-hoh-hoah
[Chorus:]
Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting
Those kicks were fast as lightning
In fact, it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing
There was funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up
They were chopping them down
It’s an ancient Chinese art
And everybody knew their part
From a fainting, to a slip
And a kickin’ from the hip
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting
Those kids were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit fright’ning
But they fought with expert timing
There was funky Billie Chin and little Sammy Chong
He said, here comes the big boss, let’s get it on
We took the bow and made a stand
Started swaying with the hand
A sudden motion made me skip
Now we’re into a brand new trip
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting
Those kids were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit fright’ning
But they did it with expert timing
Oh-hoh-hoh-hoh, ha
Oh-hoh-hoh-hoh, ha
Oh-hoh-hoh-hoh-ha
Keep on, keep on, keep on
Sure enough
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting
Those kids were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit fright’ning
Make sure you have expert timing
Kung Fu fighting, had to be fast as lightning...
Thank you!! Hilarious.
Who said Orient or Oriental was a wrong?
My Vietnamese wife prefers oriental to Asian; she says Putin is Asian.
Assian:
“Not to defend Joe, but I’ve never had a single Chinaman tell me the word “Orient” was offensive.”
Maybe so, but they get a little salty when you call them “Ornamentals,” and they don’t like being called “Chinamen.”
Hell Yeah!
And we Indians call ourselves INDIANS.
Anyone born in America is a “Native American”.
Yet the most distinctive structure in Shanghai, China is called the “Orient Pearl Tower” and there’s an “Orient Overseas Container Lines.” I think this is just Western Liberals trying to be politically correct where none is needed.
Funny, non-dirty joke I heard a while back: three union guys are on a construction site, a white guy, a black guy, and a chinaman. The foreman comes in and says, "Hey yous guys, see that pile of dirt? It's gotta be moved." He points to the black guy and says, "You're in charge of shoveling." He points to the white guy and says, "You're in charge of sweeping." And to the Chinaman he says, "You're in charge of supplies. I'll be back in an hour; have it done by then."
So he leaves, and comes back in an hour to find the pile of dirt in the same place; the black guy and the white guy are there, but the Chinaman is nowhere to be seen.
"What's up with this!" he yells. "I told yous guys I wanted this here dirt moved!"
The white guy says, "Yeah, well, I needed a broom to sweep, and I can't find that danged Chinaman to issue me one!"
Likewise the black guy answers, "Yeah, how am I supposed to shovel without a shovel?
So the foreman mutters, "Where the hell is that bastard?" So he walks around to the other side of the pile, at which point the Chinaman jumps out and yells, "Supplies!"
Well, the Japs certainly don't.
Hilarious! Thank you for my laugh of the day!
