I remember a commercial for a product called “Pearl Cream”, in which an Oriental woman used the word “Oriental”.

Why is the word 'Oriental' a racist word now? It isn't.

The Left depends heavily, as one of its tools of control, on manipulation of guilt. To do this they have to keep inventing new thought crimes.
Then they offer themselves as absolution. Align yourself with them and you are redeemed.

Give us a break with this political correctness crap. Now that we use the term white Americans, black Americans, its time to call Asians, yellow Americans and Hispanics, brown Americans. Now we need a color for Arabs.

Somehow I just don’t picture India being in the Orient.

For "Orient" and "Occident," the German language offers two wonderfully evocative words: "das Morgenland" and "das Abendland," respectively.

Let’s just call it the “O word.”

There's an interesting story behind the use of the term "Orient." Whether it is true or not, I leave to you.
Sometime in the Middle Ages, the Pope declared (because he does these things) that only a certain kind of map could be used to portray the known world. These were called "T in O" maps.
Here's one now:

People like to orient maps so that North is at the top. Notice that "Asia" is right up top on the Papal-approved map?
Coincidence?

Liberals are into ‘intellectual fashion’ non-thinking... You don't have to know anything - you learn the “sound of cool”. Buzz words separate the ‘in’ kids from the losers... AND better yet, it allows the ‘cool kids’ to be total idiots. I think it was started in newsrooms...
