I do have one question though...

Is "Oriental" considered a "generic" term versus "Asian"?

I know that so many folks get up in arms about "Black", "Afro-American", "African-American", etc... just because of political correctness (although for me.. "Black" is just fine without all that extra hoopla).... does "Oriental" fall along those same lines? Is there a negative stigma attached to it? Just wondering.
