I'm so tired of everyone throwing around the racist word...

More times than not the ones using it are the real racist...

 

[Montalban]

Those terms aren't really racist so much as really outdated. Using them makes you sound ignorant.

Again, who decided that? I just gave you an example of an Asian woman and her family who could not care less about the term. In fact I've never heard an Asian person say that term was offensive.

 

[Montalban]

Ignorant is exactly the right word to describe it.

I don't think many would be terribly offended. But it defintely makes the person who uses the term sound ignorant.

Again, in whose eyes? Who decided that? Sounds like the PC police run amok.

 

[handicappers]

Lol

His example is a made up Asian family

Derp

Who decided '23 skidoo' or 'Chinaman' was outdated and ignorant? Is there a committee? If so, 'oriental' and '*****' are on their list. But please don't stop using them!

You do know that "Oriental" just means "Easterner", right. if that's racist or ignorant I don't see why.

Most people have more important things to worry about. Nobody cares except silly American white people.

Because you are ignorant perhaps?

Yes I know and Occidental means westerner. Chinaman means someone from China. ***** means black in Spanish. It's not the meaning, it's the fact that they are terms used by people long dead. Using them makes you sound ignorant of the changes all around you. But again, please continue!

Who's worried? I love how ignorant you sound.

Nope. You don't know any Asians who find it offensive; I guarantee it. They have more important things to be concerned with. They laugh at tools like you who think the word is offensive or who feel they know what should be offensive for everyone..

And now a days “literally” literally means “not literally”...

Why didn't you call them Orientals instead of Asians just then? You're ruining my fun!

So we can't use terms used by people who are long dead? Got it. I'll throw away my dictionary since Webster is long dead.

I've never been around the term. I alwa

I think you've been schooled enough for one night.

Look.

I literally made my first post trying to help TLF out because he doesn't know any better. You want to argue and use terms like that, go ahead. But it does make you sound ignorant to anybody reasonably educated.

So it sounds like you can't tell me who decided the term "Oriental" is offensive. That's kinda what I thought. Because I'd bet a year's salary that both my daughters are far more educated than you and they don't feel offended in the slightest when someone refers to them as Oriental.

But they are only a quarter chink, so do they really count??
