Some dumb white person was the one who first told me how I was supposed to be offended by the term. I am sure you can guess how I reacted. lol

For the record Oriental comes from the Spanish word "oriente" which means "east" Since Asia is in the east it sure makes a lot of sense and doesn't sound very offensive to me. Similarly "negro" is the Spanish word for "Black" So lets get this straight, calling a black person Black is ok, but calling him black in Spanish is a slur that could very well get you fired from your job, kicked out of school, or otherwise ruin your fucking life.

I think every PC "woke" person found in Texas should have a dead or alive bounty put on them
