LOL @ "Le Snack"

I laugh at that too. It is kinda cute though.

As far as Oriental/Asian (I am late to this thread) I had no idea Oriental was considered offensive. I don't recall using that term though- I use Asian.

i got in a discussion with a friend, who insists that using the term Oriental for asians is kin to Negro for african-americans? true????

Your friend is right..I personally don't like the use of the term "oriental" because I feel it is based on an ethnocentric idea. Orient means East, but Asia is actually located to the west of the US. It comes from a European point of view, Middle East, East, Far East, etc. We don't usually call Europeans "Occidental", do we? First time when I heard someone referring to me as "oriental", I thought he was talking about noodles! (Don't ask me why...) :-)

I think yes, true.

It's a derogatory and offensive term and should not be used.
