Ok I understand that it would be politically correct to call a japanise and a chinese person both oriental, or I like the word Asian better, it just sounds cooler.

You should use Asian anyways as it is the politically correct term. Asians hate to be called Oriental and they will blab on for hours about how Oriental is rugs and food, not people. I work with a few Japanese people and found out how they don't like the word Oriental very quick. blink.gif

Using "Asian" seems rather racist


Congratulations, you don't know what 'racist' means!  You should be a public speaker!

Using "Asian" seems rather racist, actually, considering not all Asians are from eastern Asia (Japan, China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, etc.), which is what the terms "Asian" and "Asian-American" seemingly are referring to.

I hope you know that a term is only considered racist when that certain group of individuals or race, feels it is derogatory in nature.

Also, this is straight from the Encyclopedia
QUOTE
The term Asian can refer to something or someone from Asia. Since approximately 1990 in the United States and Australasia, "Asian" has been considered a more politically correct term for "Oriental", which previously referred to people from China, Japan, and Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Philippines, and other nations which have similar a racial appearance. It is sometimes also used more formally to refer to people from the entire Asian continent, including Indians, Southeast Asians, Persian and Arabs.

I agree to there being all kinds of people but i am a bigger critic with my own race i remember cubans that came to miami were hard workers and opened buissneses and created jobs and wanted the best that life has to offer learned english ect. even tho many people dont realise that in cuba they teach english so some come with the knowlegde but recently the ones that do come here on a raft dont want to work and are heavy drinkers i say send there ass back if you cant contribute to society then we dont need you and that goes for all races including whites some should be sent to canada or something.so many people take advantage of warefare and we end up paying for it or have way to many babies and the goverment has to support them that bullshit.

People are arguing with the definition of racism, I love it.  Pucksr, I agree with you but your not going to convince them.  Im finding that a lot of people here just make up their own definitions, regardless of what facts are.
