I was confused when first reading about Asian American blogs. Then I was accused of being brainwashed for not thinking the term "Oriental" as offensive. Have to verify that post.

Here in Europe, "Oriental" and actually "Asian" mean completely different things to what we're used to in California. "Oriental" usually means middle-eastern (so Oriental food is kebab, for instance), and "Asian" usually means Pakistani, Indian, or Bangladeshi. Not particularly relevant to this post, but just thought I'd share. Hey John!
