Not to defend Joe, but I’ve never had a single Chinaman tell me the word “Orient” was offensive.

Those who have actually traveled in Asia know that indigenous peoples there seem to have no problem whatever with the word 'orient' and 'oriental'. Many businesses have the word in their names and on their signs and advertisements.
I guess they're just too ignorant to know when they're being offended. /s

The terms orient and oriental are considered widely outdated and offensive to Asians. Geez. I didn't know this. I need to try to do a better job keeping up with pop culture and "offensiveness". Everyone is easily offended these days. I've already stopped looking at people cross-eyed.

I didn’t know that “orient” or “oriental” was insulting, of course these days anything you say or do is insulting to somebody.

Slow Joe frequently has his mouth outrun his brain. Makes you wonder if Slow Joe tutored Pelosi or vice versa.

Really. This clown ought to pack it in.
His gaffs probably aren’t enough to embarrass the progressives (look what they showcase!), but his presence should move rational voters toward toward the right.

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.
To: Nachum
“Orient” is not offensive. “Joe Biden” is offensive.

The terms orient and oriental are considered widely outdated and offensive to Asians. 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.

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.
