"We are called Anglos now?"

I went into a Bank of America branch here in S. California. I noticed that all of the tellers and clerks were oriental. I commented to the teller who helped me, "I see you have an all-oriental staff."

She was insulted. Drew herself up and hissed venomously, "An all-asian staff, sir!"

That was the first time I realized that "oriental" had become (overnight?) a pejorative.

Sounds like she was an “ornery-ental.”

Next time, just say that they have an all-inscrutable staff.
