The problem is, I'm not from the 'Orient'. To be from the 'Orient' by my definition is to be from China, which I'm not. My ethnicity is Vietnamese and you would be right, Lucius. Either politely ask which ethnicity we are instead of assuming, or just call us 'Asian' which is all-inclusive and general.

However, I may have taken this the wrong way, but 'pseudo-insultive'? What insults me as an individual, is insulting to me. The same goes for everyone else, don't dismiss or devalue what may or may not be to other people.
