We used to distinguish with the word "oriental", and Asian meant East Indian, but somehow "oriental" is racist. Because it recognizes that there exists more than once race in Asia.
Unless its about food somehow. Its perfectly fine for even corporate grocery stores to have oriental sections for all the Asians, but we can't skip the middle man and refer to them by the fact they come from the Orient.
But somehow fucking stealing a university position from an Asian kid who earned it and giving it to a black kid that didn’t is OK!
