STOP SAYING “ORIENTAL”!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay i dont know if i am the only asian that this bothers or what…but i really wish that people (mostly my own MOTHER [whom happens to be whtie]) would stop saying oriental or those orientals & stop calling me oriental.!!!!!! it is driving me CRAZY!! i’m not sure if it is the word or just the way that she says it but it’s making me nuts!!

i keep telling her “mom, it’s called asian” but she doesnt care, she just says what she wants…& yes i realize that i am asian & my mom is a white racist (not merely for this comment but for many things she really is racist)…isnt it terrible?!!!  the sad thing is she totally doesnt think she’s racist, she just thinks she’s patriotic!! (she’s so dilusional!! but i have found that many are not unlike her!)….which is a whole other topic!!  uggghhh!!

okay sorry just had to get it out somewhere!!!!!
