Indeed, I don't really have much qualms about being refer to as orient seeing that I never put much emphasis on my actual ethnicity anyways, and it's not like i expect racists to be intelligent enough to bother to figure out my actual race in the first place. Still, I understand the meaning even if the delivery varies. If you're insulting me, what you say doesn't change that fact you're trying to insult me.

Exactly. All in all it was very confusing and hurtful for me as a little boy to be called such a thing. Even if I didn't quite understand why it was hurtful at the time.
