Asian....or Oriental?

"Grandpa,
am I bukbuk
am I Asian
or am I
oriental?"
"Well....my
cute little
dimsum....
you would
NOT be
Oriental...
actually,
you are, but
not like how
most people think you are...
When people say 'Oriental' they usually are referring to
some Far Eastern land like Japan, Hong Kong or Philippines.
But actually, oriental is any place east of Europe. Iraq is east
of Europe, but nobody associates Iraqis with Oriental. And really
nobody hardly uses 'Oriental' in this sense anymore. When they
say 'Oriental' they mean Jackie Chan, Yao Ming and Make Your
Momma Proud (MYMP). One good way to remember it is by the rule:
Oriental is food....Asian is people. Got it?"
"Got it Grandpa."
