That fact that you and many others used an improper word changes nothing. Never too old to learn. Now if I could just learn to punctuate properly.
The term oriental has become on PC and has been replaced by Asian. Does it matter what is or was correct?
Asian has been deemed to be PC by the PC Gods. But Like Juniper said I don't know why.
You can say Englishman but you can't say Chinaman. Plain that
It doesn't "matter". But it was a random thought. Your explanation is as good as anyone's.
