Oddly enough, my wife recently criticized me for referring to something as "Oriental" and said I should say "Asian" !! Back in the 60's we used to say "Oriental". Personally, I hope people are not too offended by either word, as long as the person who used the word was not aware of a specific nationality or heritage, or was using the word to refer to a group consisting of several heritage's(??). In Alex's case he probably wasn't aware that it was Japanese. Art in Silicon Valley Alex Santos 100MB Neostrada Mail <izabella.misiewiczsantos at neostrada.pl> wrote:thanks for the bablefish link.

An interesting Paradox. Live and let live. On Nov 2, 2004, at 8:45 PM, Brandy wrote: > Alex > Asian is a catch all phrase.
