Not sure about other countries but neither "Oriental" nor "Asian" are offensive here at Spain. They're both used (although "Oriental" is more commonly-used). However, sometimes "Chinese" is misused, with bad connotations, to refer all Orientals.
On topic:
I would say "Face 17" & "Young Face 14" are the best choices.
Many countries are not as bad with the issue...but America, the land of the free and all, has a real talent in excelling at racism, sexism and any other isms u can come up with. One of the main reasons why this issue was brought up in the 1st place. The OP didnt mean any harm by it, but now we all know and knowing is half the battle. GO JOE! -

And yet people still feel the need to drive a point home when the point was already taken, as in the response to my post.
CrazyJerseyan, I don't care what I'm called. I'm one of those people who doesn't care. Call me paleface. Call me cracker, or mick, or honkey. I don't care. It's just a word and has no meaning to me, specifically.
I am not from Europe. I am from America. I am an American. I am not Asian American, African American, Hispanic American, Japanese American, Native American, Irish American, Italian American or any other.
I am AMERICAN.
Seems to me that if people want to promote equality, then they need to stop labeling.
Seriously, I wasn't trying to drive a point home, but there's a difference between nationality and ethnicity when talking about this stuff from an Amercican perspective. American, Japanese, Barizilian, Indian etc =s nationalities. Irish American, African American, Asian American, Hispanic American =s ethnicities. I agree with you and think everyone should just be called American b/c when terrorrists blow up a plane, they dont care what your ethnicity is...only that they killed some Americans.
It always amazes me though in 2009 that people aren't more concious of or don't have much regard to what offends someone or a group of someones (must be my military background). This same exact conversation came up months ago on the boards in regards to the new faces. Someone thought it was still "correct" to say Oriental and Colored in regards to Asians and Blacks. I'm the most non pc guy ever, but even with all the changes...I try to stay current every 40 years or so.
Let's all just get together and have a beer summit

Quote:"Paleface" sounds more exotic and mysterious to me, but I doubt that I could get away with calling my white friends that. Oriental to describe a people is an outdated term and akin to calling a black person Colored now a days (even though some still think that's acceptable also I've seen on these forums). And where else are can Caucasians be from originally other then Europe (talking about in a forefather kind of way)?Originally Posted by SunGryphon
To me, Oriental sounds more exotic and mysterious than Asian. It immediately brings to mind Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. 'Asian' on the other hand, just makes me think of grassy steppes and herds of horses.
Personally, I don't buy that 'area' thing because 'caucasian' describes an area in Europe, and I am definitely NOT from Europe, yet that's the only thing I can check on a survey when it comes to ethnicity.
Just my two cents, and definitely not trying to flame anyone. If someone I know personally tells me they'd rather be called Asian, I definitely don't have a problem with it.
Sounds to me this is a case of 'just because you're black (or should that be African American, or African, or Kenyan, or Ethiopian, or or or) doesn't mean you can get away with the n-word' ?
Oriental rugs, Oriental spices, Oriental furniture, Oriental art etc. =s good. Oriental grandpa, Oriental stripper, Oriental dentist =s not good. Everyone has their own opinion, but regardless...Asian American people (generally speaking) don't dig being called Oriental. It became socially incorrect about 30 years ago and was replaced with Asian or Asian American.
From online:
"While a small number of reference works used in the United States describe Oriental as pejorative, antiquated or offensive in some instances, the American Heritage Book of English Usage notes that-
It is worth remembering, though, that Oriental is not an ethnic slur to be avoided in all situations. It is most objectionable in contemporary contexts and when used as a noun, as in the appointment of an Oriental to head the commission. In these cases Asian (or a more specific term such as Vietnamese, Korean, or Asian American, if appropriate) is the only acceptable term. But in certain historical contexts, or when its exotic connotations are integral to the topic, Oriental remains a useful term." -

50 fully IOd SS/Fire/Mu runs +0/x8 no bosses on the "Demon Boat" map. Quickest way to get the most rewards. Haven't used him for much else lately.
My new Claws/Elec is in her late teens now and has been doing well on -1/x5 since picking up Lightning Field and Spin. I like AoE.
Mission Objective(s)
Find the crates before the demons do.
Eliminate demons, secure cargo
2 weapon crates to find
You have recovered all of the demon-fighting weapons. -

Trying my hand more so on the red side and have a lv50 SS/Fire that I would like to try farming with using the new difficulty system. I'm no Mids guru and could use some help with power selection, power placement/slotting etc.

You would probably be better served asking this in the PvP section. Most of the replies you would get here if any would be along the lines of, "PvP is dead so blah blah blah" etc etc.
