    To be clear, I am not personally offended by your comment, only seeing it for the ignorance which it is, so I point this out to you, not to be, "woke," but just as an fyi (though I realize that you may not be concerned about sounding ignorant). People from the Orient, are called Asians; Oriental is the word that describes non-human things, from that part of the world: rugs, furniture, ceramic pottery, musical instruments, and so forth.
    If the woman you refer to is actually a sex doll, or if you wish to make it clear that you think of her as such, please disregard my correction.

    In order to do so you would have to first provide evidence to support your assertion. Otherwise, there is not much point to rebutting something that is a statement of opinion.

    The far right does it to. It's an extremist thing, not a right/left thing.

    Also the use of the "u" in the word would indicate British English, as opposed to American English, in which "coloured" is a more common phrase.

    This is a (relatively speaking) recent lingual shift, and one that started in the US. In it's original use, "oriental" was use to describe anything and anyone from the Orient, a specific region of Asia, with no ill intent either given by the speaker nor assumed by the listener. By all rights, those from eastern Russia, India, even western Polynesians are also Asian, but rarely will you hear the term used to refer to them.

    Some things posted by Aquarius are simply gross. Not funny, not art.

    Eminem 2000 was a real genius. Only a genius can turn offensive language into art.

    This is from Webster's Dictionary Online:

    orientally \ ˌȯr-ē-ˈen-tᵊl-ē \ adverb
    Usage of Oriental
    Adjective

    The adjective oriental, which carries strong associations with colonialism and with language that others and exoticizes, is usually considered offensive when used by non-Asian people to describe people of various Asian identities. Its use to describe elements of Asian culture oriental music an oriental garden sometimes has a dated feel, but is not usually regarded as offensive.

    Usage of Oriental
    Noun

    The noun Oriental has a long history of association with
    colonialism and with language that others and exoticizes people of various Asian identities. While Oriental is not offensive in senses 2 and 3 above, the use of Oriental to refer to a person is usually considered offensive.
    <END SNIP>

    I don't really follow your point; calling someone from China a slant-eye, or a yellow man, was also a relatively recent, linguistic practice that has since fallen out of favor. Likewise, the larger society's interpretation of the word πigger, has only been, linguistically-speaking, a recent, "shift." If you are saying that speakers should not be expected to understand the connotations of their words for the first half-century, or even quarter-century, after they have undergone an updating in the way they are understood (which is a constant process of language), then I-- and the editors at Webster's-- must respectfully, but strongly, disagree with you.

    I sometimes wonder what kind of sheltered life you lead to have not encountered all that you claim to have not encountered.

    How am I "plotting" against you?

    I asked you a question.


    ...do you think if someone asks you a question it's a plot ?

    Is everyone against you?

    Keep trying to make me appear a fool. I self diagnosed myself as a narcissist so I enjoy any attention no matter how negative. Nothing you can do can own me. I have God on my side.

    They do have the right to remain silent as well as many others. I do not know why they want "equality". That is a demotion for them.
