And all my Asian friends (and I have a bunch down here in Southern California form Japan, China, Korea, Philippines) would take great offense at me saying "Oriental" in reference to anything resembling a human being. Besides, the "Orient" includes Turkey and other Middle East countries. So accuracy is even in question when people use it.
