HelpI really wouldn't use the term Oriental...
in reply to a message by Nyx
It's kind of antiquated and offensive.

oriental, adjective: pertaining to the Orient - Asian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean...
OK, I suppose if I wanted to be PC I could use Asian... but I didn't want to limit it to any one culture and couldn't think too clearly that night. Any way, I wasn't trying to be offensive, just descriptive. Sorry if you feel this term was demeaning in any way (ps, I actual quite like the word/term - It makes me think of the far off and exotic, new horizons to explore, new people to me, and new cultures to experience).
