Oriental

Oriental was an acceptable social term meaning residents of only china and no other asian countries. In Fact, China isn’t actually in Asia, it’s a separate nation. Marco-Polo, despite being a respected tradesman between nations, was highly racist and used the term “oriental” negatively and henceforth the term became associated with racism. When you say it, you can smell the opium. Nowadays, the term “orient” may be brought back as the pop supergroup “asia” has ruined the term “asian”.
