We don't really say orient anymore.

Yeah probably better to just use Asia, especially since in the past the term had a lot of exotic connotations.

[–]exitpursuedbybear [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Not proper nomenclature, dude.

[–]-eagle73 [スコア非表示]  (8子コメント)

Why? We use it plenty in the UK.

Pretty ridiculous tbh, the whole idea that Asia to North Americans is just East Asia.

[–]TroutFishingInCanada [スコア非表示]  (7子コメント)

This isn't a North American/UK thing. And even if it was, you guys say plenty of dumb shit.

It's not about Asia being all East Asia, that's just silly. I don't even know where you're getting that from. What do you think orient means? And there are lots of ways to otherwise talk about Asia. Maybe try the names of countries?

And there are lots of ways to otherwise talk about Asia. Maybe try the names of countries?

Then why do people call others Asian instead of wherever they're from?

Just because it's not your country's way doesn't mean it's dumb shit, next you're going to tell me the word cunt offends you to great levels.

Because Asian isn't an outdated, baggage-laden and ill-defined term.

[–]-eagle73 [スコア非表示]  (4子コメント)

Seems pretty outdated to me, why do North Americans still use the terms Arab or Indian if there's Asian?

[–]TroutFishingInCanada [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

Because that's closer to how they self identify?

Are you fucking with me? Cause those aren't the same as oriental.

[–]-eagle73 [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

They're Asians though, correct me if I'm wrong.

I mean in UK it's normal to call people from Asia Asian anyway but then again, we say dumb shit and that must be one of them no?

[–]TroutFishingInCanada [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Yeah, I guess. But do you call them oriental? Because I think that might not be UK thing, it might just be a you thing.

[–]-eagle73 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Chinese usually. I've never seen any other East Asians here, no Japanese folk or Vietnamese folk or Koreans. It's usually safe to assume they're Chinese.

Asian is a term here that applies to Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis, pretty confusing whenever I see it used on the internet.

Over 40 years ago today, the U.S. government backed a military coup in Chile, propping up a violent dictator known as Pinochet in the country. His crimes were gut wrenching, from slaughter of innocents to brutal torture, to even forcing prisoners to have sex with animals. An absolute stain on history.

By most of the definitions of "successful invasion", wasn't there only one, the first European colonization? The war of 1812 was a stalemate, and I don't think the initial natives arriving counts because there were no humans living in the Americas.

TIL native Americans are not native Americans

I think he's saying before the very first people arrived in the Americas (native Americans) there wasn't anybody here.

Oh yeah, I think they crossed over from Siberia. We're a hemisphere of immigrants!
